Abstract excerpt
The G protein-coupled thrombin receptor, protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1), mediates many of the actions of thrombin on cells including chemotaxis. In contrast to the reversible agonist binding that regulates signaling by most G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), PAR1 is activated by an irreversible proteolytic mechanism. Although activated PAR1 is phosphorylated, uncoupled, and internalized like typical...
