Ala-parafluoroPhe-Arg-Cha-Cit-Tyr-NH2 (TFA)

Ala-parafluoroPhe-Arg-Cha-Cit-Tyr-NH2 TFA, a bioactive peptide, is a selective Protease activating receptor 1 (PAR-1) agonist over PAR-2. PAR-1 belongs to a subfamily of G-protein coupled receptors and is known to mediate the cellular effects of thrombin. In addition to its varied cellular effects of thrombin, PAR-1 has also been shown to coordinate with PAR-4 and regulate thrombin-induced hepatocellular carcinoma harboring thrombin formation within the tumor environment classified as 'coagulation type'[1].
