'FAP in Non-Oncologic Diseases
FAP has been linked to multiple human pathologies including fibrosis, arthritis, atherosclerosis, autoimmune diseases, metabolic diseases and cancer. In most instances, FAP is associated with progression and heightened severity of the disease, but there are some conflicting reports.
Fibrosis
Given FAP’s role in tissue remodeling and expression on activated fibroblasts of scarring tissue, it is unsurprising that FAP expression is associated with diseases of uncontrolled scarring, known as fibrosis. FAP has been reported elevated in fibrotic conditions involving the liver, lung and colon."
