Divergent effects of C4a, C4a <sup>desArg</sup> , and thrombin on platelet aggregation and phosphorylation of ERK and Akt in human endothelial cells
2024-03-15
Abstract excerpt
Prior studies have established C4a as an untethered ligand for protease-activated receptors (PAR)1 and PAR4, which can increase ERK phosphorylation and [Ca 2+ ] i influx in human endothelial cells (ECs). C4a desArg is a stable metabolite produced from C4a through cleavage of an arginine at the carboxyl terminus by plasma carboxypeptidases B/N. PAR1 and PAR4 are typical receptors for thrombin and transduce cellu...
