Constitutive Expression of Functionally Active Protease-Activated Receptors 1 and 2 in Human Conjunctival Epithelial Cells
Protease-activated receptors (PARs) are G-protein-coupled receptors which initiate inflammatory responses when activated by specific serine proteases. This study was conducted to examine whether human conjunctival epithelial cells (HCECs) express functionally active PAR1 and PAR2 using Chang conjunc...
