Definitions
- Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor is a GPI-anchored membrane receptor expressed on the cell surface and is generally known to be involved in all physiological and pathological processes involving extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, such as embryogenesis, inflammation, tissue repair, tumor invasion, and metastasis.
- ECM extracellular matrix
- uPAR binds to its ligand, urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), promoting pericellular activation of the plasmin system by uPA and subsequent degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM), which is thought to contribute to cell migration and other processes.

- the R4I-7-MMAE conjugate exhibited a significant concentration-dependent inhibitory effect on cell growth in MDA-MB-231 cells, but not in MCF-7 cells.
