Protease-activated receptor signalling, endocytic sorting and dysregulation in cancer.
Protease-activated receptors (PARs) are G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are activated by a unique proteolytic mechanism. PARs play crucial roles in hemostasis and thrombosis, as well as in inflammation and vascular development. Coagulant proteases, which are generated at sites of vascular injury, act mainly through PARs to elicit signalling in a variety of cell types. Since PARs are ir...
متن کاملBiased Signaling of Protease-Activated Receptors
In addition to their role in protein degradation and digestion, proteases can also function as hormone-like signaling molecules that regulate vital patho-physiological processes, including inflammation, hemostasis, pain, and repair mechanisms. Certain proteases can signal to cells by cleaving protease-activated receptors (PARs), a family of four G protein-coupled receptors. PARs are expressed b...

متن کاملProtease-activated receptors in inflammation, neuronal signaling and pain.
The ability of proteases to regulate cell function via protease-activated receptors (PARs) has led to new insights about the potential physiological functions of these enzymes. Several studies suggest that PARs play roles in both inflammation and tissue repair, depending on the cellular environment in which they act. The recent detection of PARs on peripheral and central neurons suggests that n...
متن کاملProtease-activated receptors in hemostasis.
Protease signaling in cells elicits multiple physiologically important responses via protease-activated receptors (PARs). There are 4 members of this family of G-protein-coupled receptors (PAR1-4). PARs are activated by proteolysis of the N terminus to reveal a tethered ligand. The rate-limiting step of PAR signaling is determined by the efficiency of proteolysis of the N terminus, which is reg...
