Background

 

Endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR), also known as activated protein C receptor (APC receptor), or CD201, is an N-glycosylated type I membrane protein encoded by the PROCR gene in humans. Protein C is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease involved in blood coagulation. Binding of Protein C to EPCR leads to the proteolytic activation of PAR1 (protease-activated receptor 1) on endothelial cells and subsequent upregulation of Protein C induced genes. EPCR enhances protein C activation by the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex. Soluable form of EPCR derived from membrane bound EPCR by metalloproteolytic cleavage has been described. The extracellular domain of human EPCR shares approximately 61% amino acid sequence identity with mouse counterpart. EPCR is expressed primarily in the endothelial cells of arteries and veins in heart and lung. Clinically, Mutations in EPCR gene have been associated with venous thromboembolism and myocardial infarction, as well as with late fetal loss during pregnancy. In addition, it is shown that human EPCR functions as a receptor for subtypes of the Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) family, suggesting that EPCR may be involved in Plasmodium falciparum malaria.
