Product name: SFLLRN
Sequence: Ser-Phe-Leu-Leu-Arg-Asn-NH2
Purity: 95% by HPLC
Counter ion: Trifluoacetate
Format: Lyophilized powder
Description: Protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR1) is activated by the cleavage of the extracellular N-terminal domain by proteases such as thrombin and plasmin. This cleavage releases a tethered ligand (SFLLRN) that activates the receptor and initiates a signaling cascade through G¥áq/11, G¥ái/o, or G¥á12/13 G-proteins. Free SFLLRN activates Protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR1) independent of receptor cleavage and has been used to probe PAR1 function in various cells and tissues. SFLLRN-NH2-induced increases in astrocytic and neuronal calcium signals are blocked when the cells are pretreated with the glial metabolic blocker, fluorocitrate. Protease-activated receptor 1 agonist SFLLRN induced latent TGF¥â1 activation and Smad3 phosphorylation in human gingival fibroblasts.
