Abstract excerpt
As thrombin binding to the G protein-coupled proteinase activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) induces endothelial adhesivity to leukocytes through NF-kappaB activation and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression, we determined the signaling pathways mediating the response. Studies showed that the heterotrimeric G proteins, Galpha(q), and the Gbetagamma dimer were key determinants of the PAR-1 agonist peptide...
