Plasmin cleavage of β2-glycoprotein I alters its structure and ability to bind to pathogenic antibodies
β2-Glycoprotein I (β2GPI) is the main autoantigenic target of antiphospholipid syndrome, with antibodies leading to clinical manifestations. There are 2 known structural isomers of β2GPI: a J shape an...
