The serine protease alpha-thrombin (thrombin) potently stimulates G-protein-coupled signaling pathways and DNA synthesis in CCL39 hamster lung fibroblasts. To clone a thrombin receptor cDNA, selective amplification of mRNA sequences displaying homology to the transmembrane domains of G-protein-coupled receptor genes was performed by polymerase chain reaction. Using reverse transcribed poly(A)+ RNA from CCL39 cells and degenerate primers corresponding to conserved regions of several phospholipase C-coupled receptors, three novel putative receptor sequences were identified. One corresponds to an mRNA transcript of 3.4 kb in CCL39 cells and a relatively abundant cDNA. Microinjection of RNA transcribed in vitro from this cDNA in Xenopus oocytes leads to the expression of a functional thrombin receptor. The hamster thrombin receptor consists of 427 amino acid residues with 8 hydrophobic domains, including one at the extreme N-terminus that is likely to represent a signal peptide. A thrombin consensus cleavage site is present in the N-terminal extracellular region of the receptor sequence followed by a negatively charged cluster of residues present in a number of proteins that interact with the anion-binding exosite of thrombin.

D009865 Oocytes Female germ cells derived from OOGONIA and termed OOCYTES when they enter MEIOSIS. The primary oocytes begin meiosis but are arrested at the diplotene state until OVULATION at PUBERTY to give rise to haploid secondary oocytes or ova (OVUM). Ovocytes,Oocyte,Ovocyte
D010738 Type C Phospholipases A subclass of phospholipases that hydrolyze the phosphoester bond found in the third position of GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS. Although the singular term phospholipase C specifically refers to an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE (EC 3.1.4.3), it is commonly used in the literature to refer to broad variety of enzymes that specifically catalyze the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOLS. Lecithinase C,Phospholipase C,Phospholipases, Type C,Phospholipases C
D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
