Primary Drug Target
NamePlasminogen
Gene NamePLAUR
SynonymsUrokinase plasminogen activator surface receptor precursor; uPAR; U- PAR; Monocyte activation antigen Mo3; CD87 antigen
Specific FunctionActs as a receptor for urokinase plasminogen activator. Plays a role in localizing and promoting plasmin formation. Mediates the proteolysis-independent signal transduction activation effects of U-PA. It is subject to negative-feedback regulation by U-PA which cleaves it into an inactive form
