A protease activated receptor-2 (PAR-2) activating peptide, tc-LIGRLO-NH(2), induces protease release from mast cells: role in TNF degradation

BACKGROUND: Mast cell (MC)-derived serine proteases have been implicated in a variety of inflammatory processes. We have previously shown that rat peritoneal MC (PMC) express mRNA for protease activated receptor 2 (PAR-2), a G-coupled receptor activated by trypsin-like proteases. Recent evidence als...
