## Abstract Human α~2~‐macroglobulin (α~2~M), pregnancy zone protein (PZP), rat α~1~M and acute‐phase rat α~2~M belong to the α~2~M gene family of proteins, which can react covalently with nucleophilic monoamines to yield monoamine‐activated (MA) macroglobulins. The MA forms of human α~2~M, PZP and
Binding of activated a 2 -macroglobulin (a 2 M) to LDL receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) in Schwann cells activates ERK/MAP kinase and Akt and thereby promotes cell survival and migration. The goal of this study was to determine whether a 2 M binding to LRP1 regulates expression of cytokines and che
