Protease-activated receptor type 2 PAR-2

Organism

Mouse 1; Human 2

Functional implication

Receptor activation and barrier abrogation leads to receptor internalization 1;  MβCD  and filipin treatment in addition to caveolin-1 silencing reduced TF-VIIa-mediated cleavage of PAR-2 and IL-8 gene expression 2

Methods used to detect raft association

Western immunoblot 1; Detergent-dependent 2; Immunofluorescence confocal microscopy 2

Mechanism of raft association

n.a

Caveolin-binding motif
Cell type

Epidermis 1; Breast carcinoma cells line MDA-MB-231 2

Species

Mouse 1; Human 2

Receptor expression

Endogenous 1, 2
