Description
Description: The monoclonal antibody SAM11 recognizes human PAR2 (Protease activated receptor 2). PAR2 is a member of the PAR family which is a sub-family of the G protein coupled receptors (GPCR). Unlike most of the GPCR family members, PARs are not activated through ligand binding, but through proteolytic cleavage of the amino terminus. PAR2 activation is induced by trypsin, mast cell tryptase, neutrophil proteinase 3, tissue factor-factor VIIa-factor Xa, human kallikrein-related peptidases and membrane-tethered serine proteinase-1/matriptase-1. Unlike other PARs, PAR2 is not activated by thrombin. PAR2 is widely expressed in many tissues, including skin, liver, kidney, small intestine, and colon. PAR2 plays a key role in numerous inflammatory diseases and cancers. The SAM11 antibody has been reported to inhibit the ability of serine proteinases to activate PAR2.
