Elevated levels of soluble uPAR are associated with kidney disease<ref>PMID:26539835</ref>.  uPAR which is expressed at high levels in malignant tutors is unattractive target for treatment of cancer<ref>PMID:35303878</ref>.  uPAR activity in cancer cells may counteract the activity of anticancer drugs<ref>PMID:26283964</ref>.

The binding of uPAR and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is mediated by hydrophobic numerous interactions. <scene name='10/1041521/Cv/2'>In particular the interactions between uPA residue Trp30 and uPAR numerous hydrophobic residues</scene><ref>PMID:16979660</ref>.


This is a sample scene created with SAT to <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/1">color</scene> by Group, and another to make <scene name="/12/3456/Sample/2">a transparent representation</scene> of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
