“…~2MR/LRP is present in many tissues, including fibroblasts, adipocytes, macrophages and hepatocytes [3,5,12,13]. In addition to ~M-proteinase complexes the receptor binds ligands of several classes, such as plasminogen activator inhibitor-plasminogen activator complexes, lipoprotein lipases and c~2-macroglobulin receptor associated protein (~2M-RAP) [6,10,11,[14][15][16][17][18]. *Corresponding author.…”
