Identification of a novel urokinase receptor splice variant and its prognostic relevance in breast cancer
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
Summary The cellular receptor for urokinase-type plasminogen activator, uPAR, plays a central role in both cell surface-associated proteolysis and cellular adhesion. In the present study, we systematically searched for splice variants of uPAR mRNA in human cells and tumor tissues by qualitative RT-PCR using specific primers for uPAR exons 1 and 6. Beside the wild-type (wt) uPAR mRNA and the previously described...
