Abstract
This study outlines protease-activated receptor-4 messenger RNA and protein expression in human myometrium. Protease-activated receptor-4 activation exerts a mild uterotonic effect, whereas protease-activated receptor-4 antagonism results in a mild uterorelaxant effect. The potent human uterotonic effect of thrombin is not apparently mediated to any great extent by protease-activated receptor-4.
