NCIt definition : Proteinase-activated receptor 1 (425 aa, 47 kDa) is encoded by the human F2R gene.
This protein plays a role in thrombin-dependent G protein-coupled receptor signaling.;
NCIt note : Expressed in platelets and vascular endothelia by human F2R Gene (GPCR1 Family), 425-aa
47-kDa (precursor) Coagulation Factor II Receptor is a 7-transmembrane G-protein coupled
high affinity activated thrombin receptor that stimulates phosphoinositide hydrolysis
in the cellular thrombotic response. F2R appears to play a role in platelet activation
and vascular development. Receptor phosphorylation probably mediates desensitization
prior to uncoupling and internalization. Activated protein C uses EPCR as a coreceptor
for cleavage of Coagulation Factor II Receptor on endothelia. Proteolytic cleavage
of F2R generates a new N-terminus that functions as a tethered ligand.;
