Proteinase-activated receptor 1

UniProtKB accession:  P25116

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  High affinity receptor that binds the activated thrombin, leading to calcium release from intracellular stores (PubMed:1672265, PubMed:8136362). The thrombin-activated receptor signaling pathway is mediated through PTX-insensitive G proteins, activation of phospholipase C resulting in the production of 1D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3) which binds to InsP3 receptors causing calcium release from the stores (By similarity). In astrocytes, the calcium released into the cytosol allows the (Ca2+)-dependent release of L-glutamate into the synaptic cleft through BEST1, that targets the neuronal postsynaptic GRIN2A/NMDAR receptor resulting in the synaptic plasticity regulation (By similarity). May play a role in platelets activation and in vascular development (PubMed:10079109).
