General description

Human PAR2
The protease-activated receptor family of GPCRs has a unique mechanism of activation, in which protease cleaves a prodomain to reveal a peptide sequence that functions as a tethered ligand to activate the receptor (Macfarlane et al., 2001). PAR2 is specifically activated by trypsin and mast cell tryptase, and can also be activated by free peptide analogs of the tethered ligand, such as SLIGRL and furoyl-LIGRLO (Coelho et al., 2003; Kawabata et al., 2004). PAR2 is expressed in endothelium, gastrointestinal epithelium, macrophages, eosinophils and nociceptive afferent neurons. Activation of PAR2 in these cells and tissues promotes vasodilation, inflammation, allergy, hyperalgesia and intestinal permeability. Therefore, PAR2 is regarded as an attractive therapeutic target for colitis, asthma, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, and pain (Cocks et al., 1999; Hansen et al., 2005; Lindner et al., 2000; McLean et al., 2002; Vergnolle et al., 2001). Chemicon′s PAR2 membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening of antagonists of PAR2 interactions with its ligands. The membrane preparations exhibit an EC50 of 1.9 μM for furoyl-LIGRLO in a GTPγS binding assay.

Application

GTPγS Binding Assay.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Protein Target: PAR2
Target Sub-Family: Protease-activated

Quality

1 unit = 5 μg
EC50 for furoyl-LIGRLO: ~1.9 μM in a GTPγS binding assay

Specifications

Inucbation Conditions
GTPγS ASSAY CONDITIONS: Membranes are permeabilized by addition of saponin to an equal concentration by mass, then mixed with [35S]-GTPγS (final concentration of 0.1 nM) in 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4/100 mM NaCl/10 mM MgCl2/0.5 μM GDP in a nonbinding 96-well plate. Unlabeled furoyl-LIGRLO is added to the final concentration indicated in Figure 1 (final volume 100 μL), and incubated for 30 min at 30°C. The binding reaction is transferred to an FB filter plate (Millipore MAHF B1H) prewetted with water, and washed 3 times (1 mL per well per wash) with cold 10 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.4. The plate is dried and counted.

Physical form

Liquid in packaging buffer: 50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 10% glycerol and 1% BSA with no preservatives.

Packaging method: Membranes protein were adjusted to the indicated concentration in packaging buffer, rapidly frozen, and stored at -80oC.
