Abstract:
:Human beta 2-glycoprotein I is a heavily glycosylated plasma protein which has been implicated in the binding of antiphospholipid antibodies to negatively charged phospholipids; a process considered as an important risk factor for the development of thrombosis. We have solved the crystal structure of beta 2-glycoprotein I. In this review we will discuss what the three-dimensional structure teaches us about the role of beta 2-glycoprotein I in the pathogenesis of the antiphospholipid syndrome.
