Plasminogen Activator, Tissue (PLAT) protein (His tag)
Description
Tissue plasminogen activator (abbreviated PLAT or tPA) is a secreted serine proteasewhich converts the proenzymeplasminogento plasmin, a fibrinolyticenzyme. Plasminogen is synthesized as a single chain which is cleaved by PLAT into the two chain disulfide linked plasmin.This enzyme plays a role in cell migrationand tissue remodeling. Increased enzymatic activity causes hyperfibrinolysis, which manifests as excessive bleeding, decreased activity leads to hypofibrinolysiswhich can result in thrombosisor embolism Synonyms: Tissue-type plasminogen activator, EC 3.4.21.68, tPA, t-PA, t-plasminogen activator, TPA, T-PA, DKFZp686I03148.
