| 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. |

| DEFINITION |
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. |
|
| DesignNote |
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator is found in high and low molecular mass forms. Each form is comprised of two chains, A and B. The high molecular mass form contains a long chain A which is cleaved to yield a short chain A. (UniProt) |
