F2R — Coagulation factor II thrombin receptor
F2R belongs to a gene co-expression module in 9 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

Function
High affinity receptor that binds the activated thrombin, leading to calcium release from intracellular stores. The thrombin-activated receptor signaling pathway is mediated through PTX-insensitive G proteins, activation of phospholipase C resulting in the production of 1D-myo-inositol 1,4,5- trisphosphate (InsP3) which binds to InsP3 receptors causing calcium release from the stores (By similarity). In astrocytes, the calcium released into the cytosol allows the Ca(2+)-dependent release of L- glutamate into the synaptic cleft through BEST1, that targets the neuronal postsynaptic GRIN2A/NMDAR receptor resulting in the synaptic plasticity regulation (By similarity). May play a role in platelets activation and in vascular development. Mediates up- regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as MCP-1/CCL2 and IL6, triggered by coagulation factor Xa (F10) in cardiac fibroblasts and umbilical vein endothelial cells.
