P2Y11 receptor is a human purinergic receptor coupled to phosphoinositide and cyclic AMP signaling
[1]. ATP, ATPγS, BzATP, dATP, and AR-C67085 activate recombinant human P2Y11 receptor, while ADPβS, AMPαS, and A3P5PS act as partial agonists
[1]. Mechanistically, ATP and UTP can both mobilize Ca
2+ through human P2Y11 receptor, but they recruit distinct signaling pathways
[2]. In immune biology, current evidence supports a role for P2Y11 in immune activation with cell type-specific effects
[3]. In disease models, P2RY11 variants associate with narcolepsy and altered ATP-induced cell death in T lymphocytes and NK cells
[4]. In rheumatoid arthritis-derived fibroblast-like synoviocytes, P2Y11R expression rises and NF340 suppresses IL-1β-induced TNF-α, IL-6, MMP expression, oxidative stress, and NFκB signaling
[5]. In lung fibroblasts, extracellular ATP or oxidative stress induces premature senescence through P2Y11R-linked ER Ca
2+ release and mitochondrial ROS production
[6]. Compared with related isoforms, P2Y11 remains experimentally distinctive because rodents lack a murine P2ry11 orthologue and some antibodies, expression assays, agonists, and antagonists have specificity limitations
[3]. Therefore, P2Y11 receptor studies require human-relevant systems and carefully validated pharmacological tools
[3].
