General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism the enzyme uPA is a serine protease, and together with its membraneassociated receptor uPAR, is part of the uPA/uPAR system, which is an important component of the fibrinolytic system Homo sapiens
physiological function increasing concentrations of the enzyme dose-dependently decrease SR-BI protein expression in the liver and Huh-7 hepatoma cell line..The enzyme decreases both the cellular binding of HDL to Huh-7 hepatocytes, and the selective uptake of HDL-cholesteryl ester from HDL, it decreases the removal of HDL-cholesteryl ester in the liver via suppression of the hepatic SR-BI expression Homo sapiens
