Protein kodiran ovim genom pripada familiji G-protein spregnutih receptora, koji su preferentno aktivirani nukleotidimaadenozina i uridina.[4]
Uloga u rastu/gubitku kose
Februara 2008 istraživači sa Bonskog univerziteta su objavili da su pronašli genetsku osnovu za dva oblika naslednog gubitka kose. Oni su utvrdili da gen P2RY5 uzrokuje retku, naslednu formu gubitka kose koja se naziva Hypotrichosis simplex. To je bio prvi humani receptor za koji je poznato da učestvuje u rastu kose.[5]
