Anti-Plasminogen/PLG Antibody Picoband® Fluoro550 Conjugated

Product Specifications

Background

Plasminogen (PLG) is a circulating zymogen that is converted to the active enzyme plasmin by cleavage of the peptide bond between arg560 and val561, which is mediated by urokinase (PLAU) and tissue plasminogen activator (PLAT) . The main function of plasmin is to dissolve fibrin (see, e.g., FGA) clots. Plasmin, like trypsin, belongs to the family of serine proteinases. Defects in this gene are likely a cause of thrombophilia and ligneous conjunctivitis.

Function

Plasmin dissolves the fibrin of blood clots and acts as a proteolytic factor in a variety of other processes including embryonic development, tissue remodeling, tumor invasion, and inflammation. In ovulation, weakens the walls of the Graafian follicle. It activates the urokinase-type plasminogen activator, collagenases and several complement zymogens, such as C1 and C5. Cleavage of fibronectin and laminin leads to cell detachment and apoptosis. Also cleaves fibrin, thrombospondin and von Willebrand factor. Its role in tissue remodeling and tumor invasion may be modulated by CSPG4. Binds to cells.
