Abstract excerpt
Essentials Factor VII-activating protease (FSAP) is a plasma protease involved in vascular processes. Neointima formation was investigated after vascular injury in FSAP-/- mice. The neointimal lesion size and the accumulation of macrophages were increased in FSAP-/- mice. This was due to an increased activity of the chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2). SUMMARY: Background Factor VII-activating protease (FSAP)...
