TRAP-5 amide

TRAP-5 amide, also known as SFLLR-amide, is a protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR 1) agonist peptide^[1]. PAR 1 is the primary thrombin-responsive receptor in human cells and plays a significant role in tissue injury responses and related inflammation processes^[2]. TRAP-5 amide mimics the action of thrombin and activates the thrombin receptor PAR 1 without the need for proteolysis, making it useful for studying PAR 1 activation mechanisms^[3]. TRAP-5 amide is the smallest peptide that can release serotonin from human platelets and retain full activity, with the sequence Ser-Phe-Leu-Leu-Arg-NH₂^[4].

In vitro, treatment of A549 cells with TRAP-5 amide (10 μM) for 30 minutes under static conditions resulted in a positive dynamic mass redistribution (DMR) similar to that caused by a saturating dose of thrombin (10 units/ml), and this effect lasted for at least 2 hours. Additionally, TRAP-5 amide and thrombin showed mutual cross-desensitization^[3].
