To understand the role of P∧2x/P∧2Y receptor in cortex region of kidney and renal artery, molecular and functional analysis of P∧2x/P∧2Y receptor by pharmacophysiological skill in conventional swine tissues were performed. In functional analysis of P∧2Y receptor for vascular relaxation, 2-methylthio adenosine triphosphate, a strong agonist of P∧2Y receptor, induced relaxation of noradrenaline (NA)-precontracted renal artery in a dose-dependent manner. Strikingly, relaxative effect of ATP, 2-msATP, agonists of P∧2Y receptor, abolished by treatment of reactive blue 2, a putative P∧2Y receptor antagonist.
