Definitions

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (431 aa, ~49 kDa) is encoded by the human PLAU gene. This protein plays a role in both cell surface receptor binding and the cleavage of plasminogen between Arg-580 and Val-581 to form the fibrinolytic enzyme plasmin. An enzyme that is made in the kidney and found in the urine. A form of this enzyme is made in the laboratory and used to dissolve blood clots or to prevent them from forming.
