Abstract excerpt
Protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) is a trypsin-activated member of a family of G-protein-coupled PARs. We have identified a polymorphic form of human PAR2 (PAR(2)F240S) characterized by a phenylalanine to serine mutation at residue 240 within extracellular loop 2, with allelic frequencies of 0.916 (Phe(240)) and 0.084 (Ser(240)) for the wild-type and mutant alleles, respectively. Elevations in intracellular...
