A cytokeratin 8-like protein with plasminogen-binding activity is present on the external surfaces of hepatocytes, HepG2 cells and breast carcinoma cell lines

Plasminogen binding to cell surfaces may be important for tumor invasion and other processes that involve cellular migration. In this investigation, the principal plasminogen-binding protein was identified in the plasma membrane fraction of rat hepatocytes. The protein had an apparent mass of 59 kDa...
