The role of the P2Y<sub>6</sub> receptor in bladder function has recently attracted a great deal of attention in lower urinary tract research. We conducted this study to determine contributions of the P2Y<sub>6</sub> receptor in lower urinary tract function of normal phenotypes by comparing P2Y<sub>6</sub>-deficient mice and wild-type mice. In in vivo experiments, P2Y<sub>6</sub>-deficient mice had more frequent micturition with smaller bladder capacity compared to wild-type mice; however, there ...[more]
