Abstract

The uPAR protein is one of the most important elements in fibrinolysis. uPAR is associated with many biological processes, such as cell invasion, angiogenesis and cell proliferation. Because of its multifunctional character, it is difficult to produce an effective inhibitor of uPA-uPAR interactions. The present paper shows the current state of knowledge about the contribution of uPA-uPAR complex in many biological processes and the application of uPAR inhibitors (antibodies, small-molecules, peptides), which might be potentially useful in the treatment of vascular pathologies.
