Rat EPCR(Endothelial Protein C Receptor) ELISA Kit

Background

PROCR, also known as the endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR), is a critical component of the protein C anticoagulant pathway. This pathway has essential roles in regulating blood coagulation, inflammation, and maintaining vascular integrity. PROCR is primarily expressed on endothelial cells lining blood vessels and binds to activated protein C (APC) to enhance its anticoagulant effects. This interaction is vital for limiting thrombosis, mitigating inflammation, and preserving the barrier function of blood vessels, especially in response to inflammatory and coagulatory challenges. Recent research has revealed additional roles for PROCR, including functions in immune response modulation, cell proliferation, and tissue regeneration.
