Novel mechanisms for activated protein C cytoprotective activities involving noncanonical activation of protease-activated receptor 3
21 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
The direct cytoprotective activities of activated protein C (APC) on cells convey therapeutic, relevant, beneficial effects in injury and disease models in vivo and require the endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) and protease activated receptor 1 (PAR1). Thrombin also activates PAR1, but its effects on cells contrast APC's cytoprotective effects. To gain insights into mechanisms for these contrasting cellular...
