Description
The P2RY8 (P2Y receptor family member 8) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome X|Y.
P2Y purinoceptor 8 is a protein encoded by the P2RY8 gene in humans. It belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor family and is preferentially activated by adenosine and uridine nucleotides. The gene is moderately expressed in undifferentiated HL60 cells and is found on both the X and Y chromosomes. Mutations in this gene have been linked to cases of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
