PLAUR (plasminogen activator urokinase receptor), also known as urokinase plasminogen activator-receptor (uPAR), is part of the plasminogen activation system, which is involved in tissue reorganization, cell migration, cell cycle regulation, and cell adhesion. PLAUR was originally identified as a saturable binding site for urokinase on the cell surface, and thus, restricting plasminogen activation to the immediate vicinity of the cell membrane. Due to lack of transmembrane or cytoplasmic domains, PLAUR may be anchored to the plasma membrane by a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) moiety following cleavage of the nascent polypeptide near its C-terminus. A soluble form of PLAUR has been identified. The membrane-bound PLAUR is expressed on granulocytes, monocytes/macrophages, dendritic cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and keratinocytes. This molecule plays a role in cell adhesion and chemotaxis through binding to β1, β2, and β3 integrins. Recently, it was found that soluble PLAUR is increased in plasma of patients with active lupus nephritis, suggesting an association with pathological features of the disease. In addition, soluble PLAUR has been linked as a causative factor and also a biomarker of several diseases including tumor metastasis, focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and coronary artery disease.
