    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in localizing and promoting plasmin formation
  • contributes to the migratory potential of macrophages, a key event in atherosclerosis
  • playing a physiological role in the regulation of kidney permeability
  • is a non-integrin vitronectin (VTN) cell adhesion receptor linked to the plasma membrane by a glycolipid anchor
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • crucial component of the extracellular plasminogen proteolysis system
  • FOXP2-SRPX2/PLAUR network provides exciting insights into molecular pathways underlying speech-related disorders
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • directly interact with SRPX2, and the SRPX2/PLAUR ligand–receptor interaction showed quantitative modification caused by a pathogenic mutation of SRPX2
  • functional link between FOXP2 and both the SRPX2 and the PLAUR genes
  • SERPINB5 physically associates with both PLAUR and ITGB1, thus producing a complex that regulates both cell motility and adhesion
  • importance of VTN and its interaction with PLAUR in tumor growth
  • interactions between PLAUR and HSPA4/DNAJB6 having functions in cell adhesion and migration that may provide more understanding of the roles in regulating cancer metastasis
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    repressed by FOXP2 (down-regulates both the SRPX2 and the PLAUR genes and this transcriptional regulation is lost when FOXP2 bears a pathogenic p.R553H mutation that is known to cause DVD (developmental verbal dyspraxia)
