The PAI-1-vitronectin-vimentin ternary complex : mechanism of extracellular assembly and role in transplant vasculopathy

The active state of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) is prolonged when it forms a complex with vitronectin (VN), a major serum protein. Active PAI-1 in the PAI-1:VN complex serves many functions related to fibrinolysis and cell migration but key to these effects is its extracellular di...
