PAF Human Platelet-Activating Factor GPCR Cell Based Agonist & Antagonist Calcium Flux LeadHunter Assay - FR

Background Information:

PAF receptors belong to the superfamily of G protein-coupled seven transmembrane proteins. G-protein-coupled receptors constitute one of the major signal transduction systems in eukaryotic cells. Coding sequences for these receptors, in those regions believed to contribute to the agonist-antagonist binding site, are strongly conserved across mammalian species. PAF receptors are found in a diverse array of cells, including neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN), platelets, mast cells, monocytes/macrophages, vascular endothelial cells and lymphocytes. PAF receptor stimulation is involved in intracrine, autocrine, paracrine and juxtacrine cell activation.
