To delineate the role of binding of urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA) to its receptor (uPAR) in the local generation of plasmin by endothelium, we transfected spontaneously transformed immortalized human vascular endothelial cells that express high levels of uPA but low levels of uPAR with
## Abstract The urokinaseβtype plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR, CD87) plays a central role in the plasminogen activation cascade, which participates in extracellular matrix degradation, cell migration and invasion. Here we performed a comprehensive immmunohistochemical evaluation of uPAR expre
Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) are largely responsible for the removal of circulating lysosomal enzymes (LE) via mannose receptor (MR)-mediated endocytosis. We hypothesized that LSECs rely on this uptake to maintain their extraordinarily high degradation capacity for other endocytosed ma
