PAR-4 agonist peptide, amide TFA (PAR-4-AP (TFA)) is a synthetic peptide primarily used to activate protease-activated receptor 4 (PAR-4) [1]. PAR-4 is a G protein-coupled receptor widely expressed in platelets and other cell types, playing a role in regulating various physiological and pathological processes, including blood coagulation and inflammatory responses [2].
PAR-4 agonist peptide, amide TFA (PAR-4-AP (TFA))(100μM;1-24h) exerts a potential tumor suppressor effect in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) by activating the PAR4 receptor, which inhibits the expression of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) and histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2), while increasing the expression of the tumor suppressor p16 [3]. PAR-4 agonist peptide, amide TFA (PAR-4-AP (TFA)) (30μM;1-24h) inhibits phagocytosis in mouse macrophages and enhances the production of nitric oxide (NO) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), modulating the expression of inflammatory factors and the transcriptional activity of NF-κB [4].
PAR-4 agonist peptide, amide TFA (PAR-4-AP (TFA)) effectively induced sustained bladder hypersensitivity [5-6]. PAR-4 Agonist Peptide, amide TFA (PAR-4-AP (TFA))(100μg; Intracolonic administration) inhibits the inflammatory response in a rat model by downregulating inflammatory mediators in mast cells through the MAPK signaling pathway[7].
