Cholesterol crystallization-promoters in human bile: comparative potencies of immunoglobulins, alpha 1-acid glycoprotein, phospholipase C, and aminopeptidase N1
Concanavalin A (Con A)-binding glycoproteins accelerate the rate of cholesterol crystal formation as a prelude to gallstone formation. Immunoglobulins (IgM, IgA, and IgG), aminopeptidase N (APN), phospholipase C (pcPLC), and alpha 1-acid glycoprotein from this Con A fraction have all been proposed a...
