Abstract excerpt
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is the primary inhibitor of tissue-type and urokinase-type plasminogen activators (tPA and uPA, respectively). PAI-1 also interacts with non-proteinase targets such as vitronectin, heparin, and several endocytic receptors of the low-density lipoprotein-receptor family, including the low-density lipoprotein-receptor related protein (LRP) and the very low-density...
