Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Factor VII activating protease (FSAP) is a plasma protease with FVII and pro-urokinase (pro-uPA) activating properties. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (Marburg I, MI) in the FSAP gene (HABP-2) leads to a low activity of the MI-FSAP towards pro-uPA, but supposedly not towards FVII and is described as a risk factor for athero-thrombosis and liver fibrosis. Recently we found, however, that FVII...
