Plasminogen activation in the musculoskeletal acute phase response: Injury, repair, and disease
The musculoskeletal system is critical for movement and the protection of organs. In addition to abrupt injuries, daily physical demands inflict minor injuries, necessitating a coordinated process of repair referred to as the acute‐phase response (APR ...

PAI1 blocks NMDA receptor-mediated effects of tissue-type plasminogen activator on cell signaling and physiology [PDF]
The fibrinolysis proteinase tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA, also known as PLAT) triggers cell signaling and regulates cell physiology. In PC12 cells, Schwann cells and macrophages, the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA-R) mediates tPA signaling.

SERPINE2, an inhibitor of plasminogen activators, is highly expressed in the human endometrium during the secretory phase [PDF]
Background SERPINE2, also known as protease nexin-1, belongs to the serine protease inhibitor (SERPIN) superfamily. It is one of the potent SERPINs that modulates the activity of plasminogen activators (PAs).

The transcriptional regulation of maspin : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Maspin (mammary serine protease inhibitor) is a tumour suppressing member of the serpin superfamily. Maspin is expressed in normal breast and prostate cells, but reportedly down regulated during progression of cancer in these tissues.

Interdependence of kallikrein-related peptidases in proteolytic networks [PDF]
Human kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs) are 15 homologous serine proteases involved in several (patho)physiological processes, including cancer. Secreted as precursors, they are activated upon proteolytic release of a short propeptide. We searched for
