A highly polymorphic CA/GT repeat in intron 3 of the human urokinase receptor gene (PLAUR).

Human genetics - 1 Jan 1996

Kohonen-Corish M R, Wang Y, Doe W F

Abstract excerpt

We describe the first highly polymorphic microsatellite marker for the human urokinase plasminogen activator receptor gene (PLAUR). The urokinase receptor (uPAR) has a central role in cancer invasion and metastasis, which may enable the development of new anti-metastatic therapies. Analysis of the marker genotypes in colorectal cancer cell lines revealed three alleles that were not detected in a series of healthy...
