Circulating fibroblast activation protein activity and antigen levels correlate strongly when measured in liver disease and coronary heart disease.
BACKGROUND AND AIM:Circulating fibroblast activation protein (cFAP) is a constitutively active enzyme expressed by activated fibroblasts that has both dipeptidyl peptidase and endopeptidase activities. We aimed to assess the correlation between cFAP activity and antigen levels and to compare variati...
