Immunological analysis of plasminogen activators from normal and transformed hamster cells... [PDF]
Rabbits were immunized against the plasminogen activator released by SV4- virus-transformed hamster embryo cells. The resulting antiplasminogen activator immunoglobulin (APA-IgG) inhibited the enzymatic activity of the plasminogen activator produced by ...

Plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1) is an endogenous irreversible inhibitor of tissue‐type (tPA) and urokinase (uPA) plasminogen activators. PAI‐1‐targeted fibrinolytic therapy (PAI‐1‐TFT) is designed to decrease the therapeutic dose of tPA and uPA,

Structural Features Mediating Fibrin Selectivity of Vampire Bat Plasminogen Activators (*)
The distinguishing characteristic of vampire bat (Desmodus rotundus) salivary plasminogen activators (DSPAs) is their strict requirement for fibrin as a cofactor. DSPAs consist of structural modules known from urokinase (u-PA) and tissue-type plasminogen

Tissue plasminogen activator and urokinase plasminogen activator in human epileptogenic pathologies [PDF]
A growing body of evidence demonstrates the involvement of plasminogen activators (PAs) in a number of physiologic and pathologic events in the CNS. Induction of both tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) has been observed in different experimental models of epilepsy and tPA has been implicated in the mechanisms ...

Inhibitor of DNA binding‐1 is a key regulator of cancer cell vasculogenic mimicry
Elevated expression of transcriptional regulator inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (ID1) promoted cancer cell‐mediated vasculogenic mimicry (VM) through regulation of pro‐angiogenic and pro‐cancerous genes (e.g. VE‐cadherin (CDH5), TIE2, MMP9, DKK1). Higher ID1 expression also increased metastases to the lung and the liver.

Characterization of plasmin, plasminogen and plasminogen activator in goat milk
Plasmin (PL), a serine-proteinase, appears to be the predominant native proteinase in milk and it is mainly associated to casein micelles which represent its substrate (Bastian and Brown, 1996). Plasmin occurs in milk together with its inactive zymogene,

In vitro and in vivo induction of antiangiogenic activity by plasminogen activators and captopril.
BACKGROUND Many antiangiogenic molecules are proteolytically cleaved from larger plasma proteins. For example, plasminogen activators cleave plasminogen into plasmin, and plasmin is converted into angiostatin in the presence of sulfhydryl donors. We thus

The plasmin-antiplasmin system: structural and functional aspects [PDF]
The plasmin-antiplasmin system plays a key role in blood coagulation and fibrinolysis. Plasmin and α2-antiplasmin are primarily responsible for a controlled and regulated dissolution of the fibrin polymers into soluble fragments. However, besides plasmin(

Mutant and chimeric recobinant plasminogen activatorsproduction in eukaryotic cellsand preliminary characterization [PDF]
Mutant urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) genes and hybrid genes between tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and u-PA have been designed to direct the synthesis of new plasminogen activators and to investigate the structure-function ...
