The murine urokinase-type plasminogen activator gene

Biochemistry, 1987
The murine urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) gene has been isolated from a BALB/c liver DNA cosmid library and its nucleotide sequence established. The gene is organized into 11 exons comprising 34.7% of the 6710 base pair (bp) region spanning the interval between the presumed transcription initiation and polyadenylation sites.

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2007
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) is a serine protease involved in tissue remodeling and cell migration. At the gene level, the interplay between a complex enhancer, required for induced and basal transcription, and the minimal promoter finely tunes uPA expression.

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator and its inhibitor plasminogen activator inhibitor-1

Oncology Reports, 1997
Tumor associated proteolysis is an essential mechanism in invasion and metastasis of cancer. The influence of the serine protease urokinase-like plasminogen activator (u-PA) and its inhibitor plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) on the clinical prognosis of squamous carcinoma of the head and neck region (HNSCC) was evaluated. U-PA and PAI-1 levels

Expression of urokinase‐type plasminogen activator, urokinase‐type plasminogen activator receptor, and plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 and ‐2 in hepatocellular carcinoma

Pathology International, 2000
It has become more and more clear in recent decades that the plasminogen activation system, which includes urokinase‐type plasminogen activator (uPA), urokinase‐type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)‐1 and PAI‐2, plays a very important role in the aggressiveness of cancer. Using immunohistochemistry and enzyme‐

Ras Regulation of urokinase-type plasminogen activator

2001
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the Ras regulation of urokinase-type plasminogen activator. Degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential in many physiological and pathological processes, including involution of the prostate, cytotrophoblast implantation; wound healing, and tumor cell invasion, all of which require extensive ...

Modulation of lipoxidase activity by urokinase-type plasminogen activator

Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids, 1994
Malignant cells show increased urokinase (UK) activity and decreased peroxidation of essential fatty acids (EFA). In order to explore this phenomenon the effect of UK on the lipoxidase activity was spectrophotometrically investigated. Decreased lipoxidase activity was obtained with increased UK concentrations (r = -1.000, p < 0.0001).

Bovine embryos produce a urokinase‐type plasminogen activator

Molecular Reproduction and Development, 1992
AbstractThe type of plasminogen activator (PA) secreted by bovine embryos was identified. Day 12–14 embryos were collected from estrus‐synchronized, superovulated, and naturally mated crossbred beef cows. Embryos were left intact (E) or microdissected into component embryonic discs (ED) and trophoblastic vesicles (TV).

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator in human eccrine sweat

British Journal of Dermatology, 1993
The presence of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) in human eccrine sweat has not been reported previously. Clean sweat was obtained from the upper trunk and arms of subjects which had been painted with white petrolatum to minimize epidermal contamination. Sweat was concentrated x 50 by ultrafiltration, and its PA activity determined by the two-

Mutations affecting the activity of urokinase-type plasminogen activator

"Protein Engineering, Design and Selection", 1991
Mutagenesis throughout the single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (scu-PA) cDNA molecule, followed by expression of the mutant genes and secretion of the resulting mutant proteins from yeast, has been used to determine the amino acid residues important for activity of scu-PA molecules.
