Abstract

VAP-1 is an adhesion molecule expressed on the surface of endothelial cells. It plays an important role in the adhesion and migration of leukocytes to the sites of inflammation. The purpose of this article is to present current knowledge of structure, biological function of VAP-1 and its use in clinical practice.
