TRAP-6 Peptide (trifluoroacetate salt)

TRAP-6 peptide is a hexapeptide corresponding to residues 42-47 of protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) . It acts as an agonist of PAR1, inducing platelet aggregation in human platelet-rich plasma ex vivo (EC50 = 0.8 μM) . TRAP-6 (0.3 and 0.6 mg/kg) has a triphasic effect on mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) in anesthetized rats with a short decrease, an increase, and then a longer decrease in MAP following intravenous administration.
