Abstract excerpt
The serpin plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is a potential target for anti-thrombotic and anti-cancer therapy. PAI-1 has 3 potential sites for N-linked glycosylation. We demonstrate here that PAI-1 expressed recombinantly or naturally by human cell lines display a heterogeneous glycosylation pattern of the sites at N209 and N265, while that at N329 is not utilised. The IC(50)-values for inactivation of...
