CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE KRINGLE-2 DOMAIN OF TISSUE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR AT 2.4-ANGSTROMS RESOLUTIONCRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE KRINGLE-2 DOMAIN OF TISSUE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR AT 2.4-ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION
DiseaseDisease
[TPA_HUMAN] Note=Increased activity of TPA results in increased fibrinolysis of fibrin blood clots that is associated with excessive bleeding. Defective release of TPA results in hypofibrinolysis that can lead to thrombosis or embolism.
FunctionFunction
[TPA_HUMAN] Converts the abundant, but inactive, zymogen plasminogen to plasmin by hydrolyzing a single Arg-Val bond in plasminogen. By controlling plasmin-mediated proteolysis, it plays an important role in tissue remodeling and degradation, in cell migration and many other physiopathological events. Plays a direct role in facilitating neuronal migration.
