Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) (NCBI Accession no. AAK31795) is a protein and the soluble form of uPAR. uPAR is expressed mainly on immune cells, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells. uPAR is a membrane-bound receptor for uPA, also known as urokinase and Vitronectin. The soluble version of uPAR, called suPAR, results from the cleavage and membrane-bound uPAR during inflammation or immune activation. The suPAR concentration is positively correlated to the activation level of the immune system. Therefore, suPAR is a marker of disease severity and aggressiveness and is associated with morbidity and mortality in several acute and chronic diseases. suPAR levels have been observed to increase with age. suPAR is present in plasma, urine, blood, serum, and cerebrosp
