The term animal glue usually is confined to glues prepared from mammalian collagen, the principal protein constituent of skin, bone, and muscle.
Although it is commonly assumed that PrPSc, the protein constituent of infectious prions, is the primary culprit, increasing evidence indicates that this may not be the case.
In vivo studies suggest that apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), the major protein constituent of HDL, is essential for normal healing of arterial injuries.
Generated plasmin can degrade non-target proteins, including apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), the major protein constituent of high-density lipoproteins (HDL).
