Acceleration of the thrombin inactivation of single chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (pro-urokinase) by thrombomodulin. [PDF]
The in vitro effects of thrombomodulin on the inactivation of single chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (scu-PA) by thrombin were investigated by incubating scu-PA with varying concentrations of human thrombin, in both the absence and presence of soluble rabbit thrombomodulin.

An investigation of the nature of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-I (PAI-I) to improve upon known small molecule inhibitors [PDF]
Plasminogen activator inhibitor type-I (PAI-I ) is a serpin superfamily member protein that acts as the major inhibitor of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA).

Plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1) belongs to the serpin family of serine proteinase inhibitors. Serpins inhibit their target proteinases by an ester bond being formed between the active site serine of the proteinase and the P1 residue of the reactive centre loop (RCL) of the serpin, followed by insertion of the RCL into β‐sheet A of the serpin.
