Abstract excerpt
1. Rat proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) variants were stably expressed in rat KNRK cells: (a) wild-type (wt) - PAR2; (b) PAR2PRR, with the extracellular loop 2 (EL-2) sequence P231E232E233mutated to PRR and (c) PAR2NET, with the EL-2 sequence, PEEV changed to NETL. Cell lines were evaluated for their sensitivity (calcium signalling) towards trypsin and the receptor-activating peptides, SLIGRL-NH2,...
