PAR-4 Agonist Peptide, amide (AY-NH2) (Synonyms: PAR-4-AP; AY-NH2) |
Catalog No.GC15817 |
PAR-4 Agonist Peptide, amide(AY-NH2) (PAR-4-AP; AY-NH2) is a proteinase-activated receptor-4 (PAR-4) agonist, which has no effect on either PAR-1 or PAR-2 and whose effects are blocked by a PAR-4 antagonist.

Sample solution is provided at 25 µL, 10mM.
AY-NH2 is a selective agonist of PAR4 with EC50 value of 11 μM [1].
Protease-activated receptor-4 (PAR4) is a member of PARs and plays an important role in mediating cellular effects of thrombin through acting G-proteins i, 12/13 (Rho and Ras activation) and q (calcium signaling) [2].
AY-NH2 is a potent PAR4 agonist and has a higher (~10 fold) activity than GYPGKF-NH2. Using rat platelet aggregation assay, it was shown that AY-NH2 had highly platelet aggregation ability than GY-NH2 and GF-NH2 [1]. When tested with platelet-rich plasma harvested from wild-type C57BL6 mice, AY-NH2 treatment exhibited highly agonist activity on PAR4 while had no effect on other PARs [3].
In male Wistar rats model of paw oedema, i.pl. injection of AY-NH2 markedly reduced the nociceptive score in response to both noxious and non-noxious mechanical stimuli, thus inhibiting carrageenan-induced mechanical hyperalgesia and allodynia [4].

Animal experiment: |
Mice[1]SCID mice Male SCID mice and their BALB/cBy controls are operated as C57BL/6J mice, and on the 4th postoperative day mice receive intracolonically (IC) infusion of 100 μg PAR-4-AP or vehicle. Visceral pain measurements started 1 h following the end of infusion[1]. |

General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |
