| FSLLRY-NH2, a protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) antagonist, activates mas-related G protein-coupled receptor C11 (MrgprC11) to induce scratching behaviors in mice. Reverses taxol-induced mechanical allodynia, heat hyperalgesia and PKC activation in ICR mice. Blocks ERK activation and collagen production in isolated cardiac fibroblasts. Also reduces symptoms in a mouse model of dermatophyte-associated itch.
