P2Y purinoceptor 8 is aprotein that in humans is encoded by theP2RY8gene.[3][4]
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of G-protein coupled receptors, that are preferentially activated by adenosine and uridine nucleotides. This gene is moderately expressed in undifferentiated HL60 cells, and is located on both chromosomes X and Y.[4]
Recurrent mutations in this gene have been associated to cases ofdiffuse large B-cell lymphoma.[5]
