Title:Interaction of urokinase-type plasminogenactivator (u-PA) with its cellular receptor (u-PAR) induces phosphorylation on tyrosine of a 38 kDa protein
Creators Name:Dumler, I., Petri, T. and Schleuning, W.D.
Abstract:We demonstrate by immunoprecipitation that u-PAR is associated with a 38 kDa protein that is phosphorylated on tyrosine after u-PA treatment of cells. As tyrosine phosphorylation is the hallmark of many signal transduction pathways that promote growth and differentiation, these data suggest that u-PA, besides its role as a regulatory protease, might act as a para- or autocrine hormone.
