PAR-1 thrombin receptor
Protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR-1), a G-protein-coupled receptor activated by thrombin. TRAP-6 amide acts as a peptide agonist, directly binding to and activating PAR-1, thereby triggering downstream signaling pathways including Galphaq-mediated phospholipase C activation, calcium mobilization, and protein kinase C (PKC) activation. |

| ln Vitro |
Researchers have studied the effects of different platelet agonists on phosphatidylserine (PS) exposure and clotting times in blood without anticoagulants. Similar reductions in clotting time were obtained for collagen, TRAP-6 or calcium ionophore A23187 (50 micro mol/L), in spite of huge differences in PS expression [6.7 +/- 2.4%, 2.3 +/- 0.5% and 99.9 +/- 0.1%, respectively (mean +/- SD, n = 5)]. Furthermore, the clotting times were much longer for samples with A23187 exposing the same amounts of PS as samples with collagen or TRAP-6. Annexin V reversed the clotting time reduction, but could not prevent coagulation. Addition of phospholipid vesicles containing 20% PS neither affected the clotting times nor induced clotting in recalcified, platelet-free plasma. We conclude that platelet PS exposure is necessary, but not sufficient, for the coagulation amplification observed when platelets are stimulated via physiological receptors in a whole blood environment[1].
TRAP-6 amide potently activates PAR-1 in various cell types. It induces platelet aggregation in vitro with an EC50 of 0.15 uM. At 30 uM, it induces relaxation of isolated guinea pig internal anal sphincter strips. At 50 uM, it increases cigarette smoke extract-induced IL-8 release from isolated human bronchial epithelial cells. The peptide promotes intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and induces rapid phosphodiesterase 3A (PDE3A) phosphorylation. It activates PAR-1 independently of proteolysis, triggering downstream signaling pathways such as Galphaq-mediated phospholipase C activation. |
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, TRAP-6 amide has been used to study pain processing: intrathecal injection in mice produces anti-hyperalgesic effects, mimicking the effects of thrombin in inhibiting NMDA-induced pain behaviors. It also induces platelet aggregation and thrombosis in animal models when administered systemically, making it useful for studying thrombotic disorders and evaluating antiplatelet agents. The peptide induces transient effects due to its short half-life in circulation.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
PAR-1 receptor binding assay: Membranes from cells expressing PAR-1 (e.g., CHRF-288-11 megakaryocytic cells or HEK293-PAR1 transfectants) are incubated with a radiolabeled PAR-1 antagonist or a fluorescently labeled TRAP peptide analog and varying concentrations of TRAP-6 amide (0.01-10,000 nM) in binding buffer (50 mM HEPES pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.5% BSA) for 1-2 hours at room temperature. Bound radioactivity/fluorescence is measured to determine binding affinity and competition.
|
| Cell Assay |
Calcium mobilization assay: Cells expressing PAR-1 (e.g., platelets, CHRF-288-11 cells, or HEK293-PAR1 transfectants) are loaded with a calcium-sensitive fluorescent dye (Fluo-4 AM, 2-5 uM) for 30-60 minutes at 37degC. After washing, cells are plated in 96-well plates and TRAP-6 amide (0.001-100 uM) is added. Calcium flux (increase in fluorescence, excitation 485 nm, emission 525 nm) is measured using a FLIPR or fluorescence plate reader. The EC50 for receptor activation is calculated from dose-response curves. Platelet aggregation assay: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared from human or animal blood by centrifugation. PRP is pre-warmed to 37degC in an aggregometer cuvette with stirring, and TRAP-6 amide (0.01-100 uM) is added. Aggregation is monitored by increase in light transmission. EC50 for aggregation is determined.
|
| Animal Protocol |
Mouse models of pain: TRAP-6 amide is administered intrathecally (e.g., 1-10 nmol in 5 uL saline) to mice, and its effect on nociceptive behaviors is assessed using the formalin test or von Frey test for mechanical allodynia. The peptide's anti-hyperalgesic effects are measured by reduction in pain-related behaviors. Models of thrombosis: The peptide is administered intravenously to induce platelet aggregation and evaluate antithrombotic agents; platelet count and thrombus formation are monitored.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
As a peptide, TRAP-6 amide is rapidly degraded in vivo, with a short half-life (minutes) in circulation. It is not orally bioavailable and requires parenteral administration (intravenous, intrathecal, or intraperitoneal). The C-terminal amide provides some resistance to carboxypeptidase degradation but does not prevent endopeptidase cleavage.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No specific toxicity data are reported for TRAP-6 amide. As a research peptide not intended for therapeutic use, comprehensive toxicological profiling has not been performed. High doses may induce excessive platelet aggregation and thrombosis due to PAR-1 overactivation.

| Additional Infomation |
This is a research peptide, not an approved drug. It is a standard tool for studying PAR-1 function in hemostasis, thrombosis, inflammation, and pain. Also known as Thrombin Receptor Agonist Peptide-6 amide, PAR-1 agonist peptide, or SFLLRN-NH2. The amidated version is more potent than the free acid form (TRAP-6, EC50 = 0.8 uM).
