Protein kodiran ovim genom pripada familiji G-protein spregnutih receptora, koji su preferentno aktivirani nukleotidimaadenozina i uridina. Ovaj receptor je responzivan na UDP, parcijalno responzivan na UTP i ADP, i ne aktivira ga ATP. Poznate su četiri transkriptne varijante koje kodiraju istu izoformu gena.[2]
