Identification of Peroxiredoxin-1 as a Novel Biomarker of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Abstract

Several proteins associated with AAA pathogenesis have been identified by a proteomic approach in ILT-conditioned medium. Among them, PRX-1 serum levels are increased in AAA patients and correlate with AAA size and growth rate, suggesting the potential use of PRX-1 as a biomarker for AAA evolution.
