Solubilization and affinity labeling of a dihydropyridine binding site from skeletal muscle: effects of temperature and diltiazem on [3H]dihydropyridine binding to transverse tubules.

abstract：:Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) and its receptor uPAR play a major role in immune cell-mediated, including natural killer (NK) cell-mediated, degradation of extracellular matrices. Herein, we investigate the effects of IL-2 on NK cell uPA and uPAR. RNA and protein analyses showed upregulation of uPA and uPAR fol...
