A DNA sequence encoding a G-protein-coupled receptor was isolated from a mouse genomic library. The predicted protein is similar in structure to the thrombin receptor and has a similar activation… (More)
Recently, a second member of the protease-activated receptor (PAR) family, named PAR-2, has been identified. Similar to the thrombin receptor, PAR-2 appears to be activated by proteolytic-mediated… (More)
Transposon mutagenesis provides a fundamental tool for functional genomics. Here we present a non-species-specific, combined enhancer detection and binary expression system based on the transposable… (More)
The Hedgehog signalling pathway is deployed repeatedly during normal animal development and its inappropriate activity is associated with various tumours in human. The serpentine protein Smoothened… (More)
We previously reported the molecular cloning of a mouse guanosine-nucleotide-binding-protein-coupled receptor similar to the thrombin receptor. Since the physiological agonist was unknown, the… (More)
Hedgehog (Hh) signalling plays a central role in many developmental processes in both vertebrates and invertebrates [1]. The multipass membrane-spanning proteins Patched (Ptc) [2-4] and Smoothened… (More)
The proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR-2) belongs to the family of seven transmembrane region receptors, and, like the related thrombin receptor, it is activated by specific proteolytic cleavage of… (More)

P element-mediated mutagenesis has been used to disrupt an estimated 25% of genes essential for Drosophila adult viability. Mutation of all genes in the fly genome, however, poses a problem, because… (More)
Proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR-2) is a G protein-coupled receptor related to the thrombin receptor. PAR-2 can be activated by trypsin and by synthetic peptides corresponding to the new amino… (More)
