Endothelial protease-activated receptor 4: impotent or important? by Rahul Rajala, Rahul Rajala, Rahul Rajala, Courtney T. Griffin, Courtney T. Griffin

“…As a result, we claim PAR4 is not an impotent receptor because it is low expressing, but rather PAR4 is low expressing because it is a very potent receptor. Since we have finally shown PAR4 to be present and functional on ECs in vivo, it is important to outline why such controversy arose over the last two decades and, more importantly, why the receptor was undervalued on ECs. …”
