1 APRIL limits atherosclerosis by binding to heparan sulfate proteoglycans. Heparitin Sulfate TNF superfamily member 13 Homo sapiens
2 Mechanistically, we demonstrate that APRIL confers atheroprotection by binding to heparan sulfate chains of heparan-sulfate proteoglycan 2 (HSPG2), which limits the retention of low-density lipoproteins, accumulation of macrophages and formation of necrotic cores. Heparitin Sulfate TNF superfamily member 13 Homo sapiens
