Abstract excerpt
Protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1), a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) for thrombin, is the prototypic member of a family of protease-activated receptors. PAR1 is irreversibly proteolytically activated; thus, the magnitude and duration of thrombin cellular responses are determined primarily by mechanisms responsible for termination of receptor signaling. Both phosphorylation and beta-arrestins contribute to...
