Plaur - plasminogen activator, urokinase receptor

Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity; protein domain specific binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including epithelial cell differentiation involved in prostate gland development; skeletal muscle tissue regeneration; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Biomarker of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; myocardial infarction; and status epilepticus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in rheumatoid arthritis. Orthologous to human PLAUR (plasminogen activator, urokinase receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
