Except for GPR87, human P2Y12-like receptor members contain no intron in the coding region. However, this intronless gene structure is not well preserved in all vertebrates. The table summarizes the number of introns within the 5′ and coding region of selected vertebrate genes and estimates the size of the gene

aBased on the 5′ longest transcript

bComplete open reading frame within the genomic sequence but intron within the very N terminus cannot be ruled out because of lack of mRNA information
