Abstract excerpt
beta2-glycoprotein I is a phospholipid-binding protein of 326 amino acids and is found in plasma at a concentration of approximately 200 microg/ml. It has a sequence of positively charged amino acids located at the carboxy terminus that mediates anionic phospholipid binding. Two polymorphisms (306Cys-->Gly and 316Trp-->Ser) located at the phospholipid-binding site have been described. Homozygous state for either...
