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
Cluster 1 streptokinases (SK1) from Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS) show substantially higher human plasminogen (hPg) activation activities and tighter hPg binding affinities than cluster 2b streptokinases (SK2b) in solution. The extent to which the different domains of SK are responsible for

To assess the concentration of adiponectin, soluble E-selectin, soluble thrombomodulin and tissue activator plasminogen antigen in postmenopausal women who received oral or transdermal hormone therapy. Case-control study. Polish university hospitals. Seventy-six healthy postmenopausal women. Forty-six women who received oral (n

The α2-Antiplasmin (α2AP) protein is known as a principal physiological inhibitor of plasmin, but we previously demonstrated that it acts as a regulatory factor for cellular functions independent of plasmin. α2AP is highly expressed in the hippocampus, suggesting a potential

Prion peptide (PrP) misfolds to infectious scrapie isoform, the β pleat-rich insoluble fibrils responsible for neurodegeneration and fatal conformational diseases in humans. The amino acid sequence 106-126 from prion proteins, PrP(106-126), is highly amyloidogenic and implicated in prion-induced pathologies. Here
