Protease-Activated Receptor-1, PAR-1 Agonist

Protease-Activated Receptor-1 (PAR-1) Agonist, a selective peptide, activates the PAR-1 receptor by mimicking the specific actions of thrombin. It corresponds to the PAR1 tethered ligand, facilitating selective activation of this receptor.

Protease-Activated Receptor-1 (PAR-1) Agonist TFA is a selective peptide that acts as an agonist for the proteinase-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1). Corresponding to the tethered ligand of PAR-1, this compound mimics the actions of thrombin through the PAR-1 receptor[1][2].

Protease-Activated Receptor-1, PAR-1 Agonist acetate is a selective proteinase-activated receptor1 (PAR-1) agonist peptide. Protease-Activated Receptor-1, PAR-1 Agonist acetate corresponds to PAR1 tethered ligand and which can selectively mimic theactions of thrombin via this receptor[1][2].

PAR2 (1-6) amide is a synthetic peptide agonist of proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) that corresponds to residues 1-6 of the amino terminal tethered ligand sequence of human PAR2 and residues 37-42 of the full-length sequence.1It binds to NCTC 2544 cells expressing human PAR2 (Ki= 9.64 μM in a radioligand binding assay) and induces calcium mobilization in the same cells (EC50= 0.075 μM).2PAR2 (1-6) amide (100 μM) reduces colony formation of A549 lung cancer cells.1It induces superoxide production and degranulation in isolated human eosinophils when used at a concentration of 500 μM.3PAR2 (1-6) amide (5 μmol/kg) induces tear secretion in rats when used in combination with amastatin .4 1.Bohm, S.K., Kong, W., Bromme, D., et al.Molecular cloning, expression and potential functions of the human proteinase-activated receptor-2Biochem.

Protease-Activated Receptor-3 (PAR-3) (1-6), human TFA, is a peptide that acts as an agonist for the proteinase-activated receptor (PAR-3) [1].

PAR 4 (1-6) TFA (GYPGQV TFA), a hexapeptide derived from protease-activated receptor 4 (PAR 4), serves as a specific agonist for PAR 4, exhibiting targeted activation properties.

TRAP-6 (Thrombin Receptor Activator Peptide 6)(2TFA) is an agonist of protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1).

iso-TRAP-6 (iso-SFLLRN), a hexapeptide derived from the substitution of isoserine for serine, is a protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) agonist that activates platelets via PAR-1. iso-TRAP-6 is more resistant to degradation by plasma aminopeptidases than iso-TRAP-6.

TRAP-5 amide is a peptide agonist for protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR 1) [1].

Ala-parafluoroPhe-Arg-Cha-Cit-Tyr-NH2 is a biologically active peptide functioning as a selective agonist for Protease Activated Receptor 1 (PAR-1) [a subtype of G-protein coupled receptors involved in mediating thrombin's cellular effects]. Exhibiting high specificity for PAR-1 over PAR-2, its selectivity was assessed via cell-based calcium signaling assays in HEK293 cells. As an agonist, it is instrumental for in vivo investigations of PAR-1 activation. PAR-1 also collaborates with PAR-4, influencing thrombin-induced hepatocellular carcinoma within [coagulation type] tumor environments where thrombin generation occurs.
