Abstract Background The receptor for advanced glycation end products (mRAGE) is associated with pathology in most tissues, while its soluble form (sRAGE) acts as a decoy receptor. The adult lung is...

Biochemical importance of glycosylation of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (2003)

Pedersen, Katrine E, Skottrup, Peter, Christensen, Anni, Naessens, Dominik, Deinum, Johanna, ...

The serpin plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is a potential target for anti-thrombotic and anti-cancer therapy. PAI-1 has 3 potential sites for N-linked glycosylation. We demonstrate here...

Calbindin D28k exhibits properties characteristic of a Ca2+ sensor. (2002)

Berggard, Tord, Miron, Simona, Onnerfjord, Patrik, Thulin, Eva, Akerfeldt, Karin S., Enghild, Jan J., ...

Calbindin D28k is a member of the calmodulin super-family of Ca2+ -binding proteins and contains six EF-hands. The protein is generally believed to function as a Ca2+ buffer, but the studies...

Angiostatin binds ATP synthase on the surface of human endothelial cells

Moser, Tammy L., Stack, M. Sharon, Asplin, Iain, Enghild, Jan J., Højrup, Peter, Everitt, Lorraine, ...

Angiostatin, a proteolytic fragment of plasminogen, is a potent antagonist of angiogenesis and an inhibitor of endothelial cell migration and proliferation. To determine whether the mechanism by...

The dual nature of human extracellular superoxide dismutase: One sequence and two structures

Petersen, Steen V., Oury, Tim D., Valnickova, Zuzana, Thøgersen, Ida B., Højrup, Peter, Crapo, James D., ...

Human extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD; EC 1.15.1.1) is a scavenger of superoxide anions in the extracellular space. The amino acid sequence is homologous to the intracellular counterpart,...

Structural and functional characterization of tissue factor pathway inhibitor following degradation by matrix metalloproteinase-8.

Cunningham, Anna C, Hasty, Karen A, Enghild, Jan J, Mast, Alan E

Vascular injury results in the activation of coagulation and the release of proteolytic enzymes from neutrophils and connective- tissue cells. High concentrations of these inflammatory proteinases...

Pigment-epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) occurs at a physiologically relevant concentration in human blood: purification and characterization.

Petersen, Steen V, Valnickova, Zuzana, Enghild, Jan J

Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) inhibits the formation of blood vessels in the eye by inducing apotosis in actively dividing endothelial cells. The activity of PEDF equals or supersedes that...
