Description

General description

The Proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) is a member of the proteinase-activated receptor subfamily. It is activated through proteolytic exposure of an occult tethered ligand by trypsin and trypsin-like proteases. This is in contrast to other members of the subfamily which are activated by the protease thrombin. PAR2 has been implicated in acute inflammatory response, asthma, and pain transmission. PAR2 expression has been documented in the periphery. ESTs have been isolated from adrenal, brain, breast, heart/melanocyte/uterus, kidney, lung, and vessel libraries.

Specificity

Recognizes human PAR2. The specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by IHC staining of human pancreas.

Immunogen

Epitope: N-terminal, extracellular

Synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence within the N-terminal extracellular domain of human PAR2. The immunogen has 70% homology with mouse and 60% homology with rat.

Application

Immunohistochemistry (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues)

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
