Biochem/physiol Actions
The activated form of plasminogen, plasmin, was shown to promote the migration of melanoma and lung tumor cells plated on the extracellular matrix protein laminin by altering protein kinase C signaling.
Plasminogen is the inactive precursor of the protease plasmin. Plasminogen is activated by the action of either tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), which primarily activates the fibrinolytic (thrombolytic) activity of plasmin, or urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA), which is associated with extracellular matrix remodeling and cell migration. Plasmin cleaves fibrin/fibrinogen and blood coagulation factors V/Va and VIII/VIIIa. It activates matrix metalloproteinases by cleaving the inactive proenzymes. It is also involved in the activation of some growth factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β).

ε-Aminocaproic acid free
Unit Definition
One unit will produce 1.0 μmole of p-nitroanilide from D-Val-Leu-Lys 4-nitroanilide at pH 7.5 at 37°C.
Physical form
Lyophilized powder containing NaCl, EDTA, lysine, and Tris buffer salts
Reconstitution
Solutions should be stored in buffer containing 20 mM lysine at neutral pH. The protein should be as concentrated as possible. Frozen in aliquots at −20 °C, it should be stable for several weeks.

Using a pure chemotactic model, we investigated the effect of plasmin on tumor cell motility. In the presence of various extracellular matrix proteins, plasmin facilitated motility of human melanoma LOX and lung cancer Lu-99 cells. Laminin contributed most to the

Hyaluronan (HA) has previously been identified as an integral component of the limbal stem cell niche in vivo. In this study, we investigated whether a similar HA matrix is also expressed in vitro providing a niche supporting limbal epithelial stem

We had demonstrated that plasminogen kringle 5 (K5), a potent angiogenic inhibitor, inhibited retinal neovascularization and hepatocellular carcinoma growth by anti-angiogenesis. The current study investigated the effects and the underlying mechanisms of K5 on both tumor growth and spontaneous pulmonary

Using a combination of structural and mechanical characterization, we examine the effect of fibrinogen oxidation on the formation of fibrin clots. We find that treatment with hypochlorous acid preferentially oxidizes specific methionine residues on the α, β, and γ chains
