Plasminogen Receptors and Fibrinolysis [PDF]
The ability of cells to promote plasminogen activation on their surfaces is now well recognized, and several distinct cell surface proteins have been demonstrated to function as plasminogen receptors. Here, we review studies demonstrating that plasminogen bound to cells, in addition to plasminogen directly bound to fibrin, plays a major role in ...

Fibrinolysis regulation by platelets retaining plasminogen and tissue-type plasminogen activator on their surface [PDF]
Platelets play a key role in hemostasis as cofactors of thrombin generation, fibrin polymerization centers, and initiators of clot retraction, while their ability to modulate clot dissolution remains less understood.

All tangled up: interactions of the fibrinolytic and innate immune systems
The hemostatic and innate immune system are intertwined processes. Inflammation within the vasculature promotes thrombus development, whilst fibrin forms part of the innate immune response to trap invading pathogens.

PRODUCTION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF ANTIBODIES AGAINST K1-3 FRAGMENT OF HUMAN PLASMINOGEN [PDF]
Components of plasminogen/plasmin system play crucial role in fibrinolytic rocesses. They are also involved in regulation of cell activity in normalcy and various pathological conditions.

Susceptibility to doxorubicin-induced nephropathy (DIN), a toxic model for the induction of proteinuria in mice, is related to the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) C6418T of the Prkdc gene encoding for the DNA-repair enzyme DNA-PKcs.

Contribution of Streptokinase-Domains from Groups G and A (SK2a) Streptococci in Amidolytic /Proteolytic Activities and Fibrin-Dependent Plasminogen Activation: A Domain-Exchange Study [PDF]
Background: SK, a heterogeneous PA protein from groups A, C, and G streptococci (GAS, GCS, GGS, respectively) contains three structural domains (SKα, SKβ, and SK).

Accelerated activation of the human plasminogen zymogen (hPg) to two-chain active plasmin (hPm) is achieved following conformational changes induced by ligand-binding at the lysine-binding sites (LBSs) in four of the five hPg kringle domains.

Synthesis of human plasminogen by the liver [PDF]
Genetic types of plasminogen were determined from a donor and a recipient before and after hepatic homotransplantation. Examination of the plasminogen types demonstrated that the liver is the principal site of synthesis of human plasminogen.

Plasminogen–receptor KT: plasminogen activation and beyond [PDF]
The cell surface orchestrates plasminogen activation through the concomitant binding of plasminogen and plasminogen activators to specific receptors. In this issue, Miles and colleagues describe their detailed phenotypic characterization of mice deficient in Plg-RKT, a key plasminogen receptor expressed in numerous tissues, but highly expressed by ...
