06/2006 | Biological Chemistry, Walter de GruyterWe tested the hypothesis that human tissue kallikreins (hKs) may regulate signal transduction by cleaving and activating proteinase-activated receptors (PARs)...

11/2007 | Biological Chemistry, Walter de GruyterProteinases such as thrombin and trypsin can affect tissues by activating a novel family of G protein-coupled proteinase-activated receptors (PARs 1–4) by exposing a ‘tethered’ receptor-triggering ligand (TL)...

06/2008 | Biological Chemistry, Walter de GruyterPlant proteinase inhibitors are involved in the regulation of the activity of many proteinases and, in consequence, in biological processes driven by proteolysis...
