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.

Activation of Val442-plasminogen (mini-plasminogen) by urokinase, streptokinase and tissue plasminogen activator

Thrombosis Research, 1988
Glu-plasminogen (Glu-plg), Lys-plg and Val442-plg (mini-plg) were activated by urokinase (UK), streptokinase (SK) or tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA). Their activation rates were kinetically analyzed. UK activated Lys-plg with smaller Km and nearly identical Vmax as Glu-plg.

The Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator and the Generation of Inhibitors of Urokinase Activity and Signaling

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2011
Urokinase (uPA) was originally identified in human urine for its ability to catalyse the transformation of plasminogen into its active form, plasmin which degrades fibrin and extracellular matrix components. Two major, functionally independent regions have been identified in the uPA molecule: a non-catalytic N-terminal region (residues 1-135) and a ...

The Mechanisms of the Activation of Plasminogen by Streptokinase and Urokinase

1990
Plasminogen activation to plasmin is due to enzymatic cleavage of a single peptide bond in the zymogen molecule. These enzymes are called plasminogen activators. There are three categories in plasminogen activators: streptokinase (SK), urokinase (UK) and tissue plasminogen activators (t-PA).

Activation of Porcine Plasminogen by Human Urokinase

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1968
Lauritsen, O. S. Activation of Porcine Plasminogen by Human Urokinase. Scand. J. clin. Lab. Invest. 22, 239-246, 1968.A plasminogen preparation from swine blood was activated by human urokinase. The preparation was solubilised and stabilised by an appropriate concentration of lysine.

Modulation of Sympathetic Activity by Tissue Plasminogen Activator Is Independent of Plasminogen and Urokinase

The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2007
Sympathetic neurons synthesize, transport, and release tissue-type plasminogen activators (t-PAs) and urinary-type plasminogen activators (u-PAs). We reported that t-PA enhances sympathetic neurotransmission and exacerbates reperfusion arrhythmias. We have now assessed the role of u-PA and plasminogen.

Immunohistochemical Detection of Urokinase Plasminogen Activator and Urokinase Plasminogen Activator Receptor in Canine Vascular Endothelial Tumours

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2015
Immunohistochemistry was used to assess the expression of urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) and uPA receptor (uPAR) in 57 canine primary haemangiosarcomas (HSAs), 26 canine cutaneous haemangiomas (HAs) and in control sections of canine cutaneous granulation tissue.

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‐

Meningioma: Urokinase Plasminogen Activator

2012
Meningiomas, which arise from the meninges, are by far the most frequently occurring intracranial primary tumors in adults. Histopathological and clinical variants of meningiomas offer new challenges in diagnosis, pathology and treatment modalities. Moreover, recurrence of the more aggressive tumors demand the development of novel, targeted therapeutic
