Monocyte adhesion to atherosclerotic matrix proteins is enhanced by Asn-Gly-Arg deamidation

Abstract Atherosclerosis arises from leukocyte infiltration and thickening of the artery walls and constitutes a major component of vascular disease pathology, but the molecular events underpinning this process are not fully understood. Proteins containing an Asn-Gly-Arg (NGR) motif readily undergo...
