Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) is a serine protease involved in cancer invasion and metastasis. uPA mediates its action while attached to a membrane-bound receptor (uPAR). In this investigation we show that uPAR levels correlate with uPA levels in human breast cancers. uPAR levels, however, d

Many human cells and cell lines possess a specific receptor that binds urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) with an affinity of about lo-'' M. Bound enzyme is not internalized, is slowly dissociated, and retains its enzymatic activity. The amino acid sequence of uPA responsible for receptor binding
Surveillance colonoscopy and biopsy are inaccurate methods of predicting the likelihood of ulcerative colitis patients to develop colon carcinoma. We examined uPA and PAI-1 as potential markers for assessing these patients and those with familial polyposis who are at risk of developing colon cancer.
