Primary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome with mutations in the phospholipid binding domain of beta(2)-glycoprotein I.

Abstract excerpt

beta(2)-Glycoprotein I, an anionic phospholipid-binding 50-kDa plasma protein, circulates in the plasma at a concentration of 30-200 microg/ml. Its physiological role remains uncertain, but an important clue to this role is suggested by the finding that antibodies to this protein are frequently found in patients with antiphospholipid antibodies and thrombosis. beta(2)-Glycoprotein I belongs to the complement...
