Sensitization of ASIC3 by proteinase-activated receptor 2 signaling contributes to acidosis-induced nociception
Abstract Background Tissue acidosis and inflammatory mediators play critical roles in pain. Pro-inflammatory agents trypsin and tryptase cleave and activate proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) expressed on sensory nerves, which is involved in peripheral mechanisms of inflammation and pain.
