Recognizes endogenous levels of PAR1 protein.
PAR1 (F2R) belongs to the PAR (Protease-Activated Receptor) family of G protein-coupled receptors. These membrane receptors are activated through amino terminal cleavage of the receptor by serine proteases such as thrombin, trypsin, or matrix metalloproteinases . Protease-mediated cleavage exposes the ‘tethered-ligand’ fragment of the receptor; this binds to a second extracellular loop of the receptor and triggers receptor activation. Activated PAR1 couples to distinct G-protein complexes or arrestins, further relaying signals to downstream players (e.g., phospholipase C, Rho-kinase) . PAR1 function is necessary for normal physiological processes such as hemostasis, platelet activation, and thrombosis, whereas abnormal activation of PAR1 has been associated with inflammatory disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and metastasis.
