The structural basis for the pathophysiological relevance of PAI-1 in cardiovascular diseases and the development of potential PAI-1 inhibitors
1 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-I (PAI-I) is an important component of the plasminogen/plasmin system as it is the main inhibitor of tissue-type and urokinase-type plasminogen activator. Consequently, PAI-I plays an important role in cardiovascular diseases (mainly through inhibition of t-PA), and in cell migration and tumor development (mainly through inhibition of u-PA and interaction with vitronectin). As a...
