Notes: UDP-β-S is an agonist of the purinergic P2Y6 receptor.{65711} It selectively induces inositol phosphate accumulation in 1321N1 cells expressing P2Y6 receptors (EC50 = 28 nM) over those expressing P2Y1, P2Y2, or P2Y4 receptors at 10 µM. UDP-β-S (1 µM) induces DNA synthesis in isolated rat aorta smooth muscle cells.
