Physiology and Pathophysiology of Proteinase-Activated Receptors (PARs): PARs in the Respiratory System: Cellular Signaling and Physiological/Pathological Roles

Proteinase-activated receptors (PARs), a family of G protein-coupled receptors, are widely distributed in the mammalian body, playing a variety of physiological/pathophysiological roles. In the respiratory systems, PARs, particularly PAR-2 and PAR-1, are expressed in the epithelial and smooth muscle...
