Role of β2‐glycoprotein I in the pathogenesis of the antiphospholipid syndrome
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is typically characterized by increased levels of three classes of antiphospholipid antibodies, namely lupus anticoagulant, anti‐β2‐glycoprotein I (anti‐β2GPI), and anticardiolipin antibodies.

β2-Glycoprotein I Inhibits Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-Induced Angiogenesis by Suppressing the Phosphorylation of Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase 1/2, Akt, and Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase. [PDF]
Angiogenesis is the process of new blood vessel formation, and it plays a key role in various physiological and pathological conditions. The β2-glycoprotein I (β2-GPI) is a plasma glycoprotein with multiple biological functions, some of which remain to ...

Interference in point-of-care international normalized ratio monitoring in patients with lupus anticoagulant is correlated with anti-β2-glycoprotein I antibody titers. [PDF]
Background: Patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) receive anticoagulant therapy with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) to prevent recurrent thrombosis. VKA treatment requires strict monitoring with an international normalized ratio (INR).

Gastrointestinal symptoms as the first manifestation of antiphospholipid syndrome
Background Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an acquired pre-thrombotic autoimmune condition, which produces autoantibodies called antiphospholipid antibodies (APL) against phospholipid-binding plasma proteins. The diagnosis of APS requires at least one
