Phosphorylation of human plasminogen activators and plasminogen [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1995 Plasminogen (PG), urokinase‐type plasminogen activator (u‐PA) and tissue‐type PA (t‐PA) are the main molecules involved in fibrinolysis and in many other physiological and pathological processes. In the present study we report that human t‐PA, purified from human melanoma cells, and PG, purified from human plasma, both contain P‐Tyr residues, as ...

Support vector machine (SVM) based multiclass prediction with basic statistical analysis of plasminogen activators. [PDF]
BMC Res Notes, 2014 Plasminogen (Pg), the precursor of the proteolytic and fibrinolytic enzyme of blood, is converted to the active enzyme plasmin (Pm) by different plasminogen activators (tissue plasminogen activators and urokinase), including the bacterial activators ...

Staphylococcus aureus proteins Sbi and Efb recruit human plasmin to degrade complement C3 and C3b [PDF]
, 2012 Upon host infection, the human pathogenic microbe Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) immediately faces innate immune reactions such as the activated complement system. Here, a novel innate immune evasion strategy of S. aureus is described.

Plasminogen activators and plasminogen activator inhibitors in endometriosis
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2005 Endometriosis is one of the most frequent benign gynecological diseases that affect women. Little is known about the pathogenesis and etiology of endometriosis, despite the numerous studies performed in this field. Although endometriosis is a benign disease, the endometrial tissue, after attachment to the peritoneum, has the ability to grow and invade ...

Pericellular activation of hepatocyte growth factor by the transmembrane serine proteases matriptase and hepsin, but not by the membrane-associated protease uPA [PDF]
, 2009 HGF (hepatocyte growth factor) is a pleiotropic cytokine homologous to the serine protease zymogen plasminogen that requires canonical proteolytic cleavage to gain functional activity.

Early increases in plasminogen activator activity following partial hepatectomy in humans [PDF]
, 2004 Background Increases in urokinase-like plasminogen activator (uPA) activity are reported to be amongst the earliest events occurring in remnant liver following partial hepatectomy in rats, and have been proposed as a key component of the regenerative ...

Interaction of plasminogen and fibrin in plasminogen activation. [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1990 Glu1-, Lys77-, miniplasminogens, kringle 1-3, kringle 1-5A, and kringle 1-5R were able to bind with fibrin, while microplasminogen and kringle 4 did not bind significantly. Kringle 1-5A, but not kringle 1-3, effectively inhibited the binding of Glu1-, Lys77-, and miniplasminogens with fibrin.
