Activation of Proteinase-Activated Receptors Induces Itch-Associated Response Through Histamine-Dependent and -Independent Pathways in Mice
Proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) participates in itch, but the role of the other subtypes of this receptor remain unknown. To investigate this issue, scratching, an itch-related behavior, was observed following intradermal injections of the activating peptides of PAR1–4 in mice. Activating pep...
