Gene Name PLG
Uniprot ID PLMN_HUMAN
KEGG Pathway hsa:5340
Protein Family Peptidase S1 family, Plasminogen subfamily
Protein Function
Plasmin dissolves the fibrin of blood clots and acts as a proteolytic factor in a variety of other processes including embryonic development, tissue remodeling, tumor invasion, and inflammation. In ovulation, weakens the walls of the Graafian follicle. It activates the urokinase-type plasminogen activator, collagenases and several complement zymogens, such as C1 and C5. Cleavage of fibronectin and laminin leads to cell detachment and apoptosis. Also cleaves fibrin, thrombospondin and von Willebrand factor. Its role in tissue remodeling and tumor invasion may be modulated by CSPG4. Binds to cells.

      Mechanism Description
  • Antagonize the effect of Alteplase when combined with Aprotinin 

Recommended Action
      Management No specific intervention is warranted, but clinicians should be alert to the potential for diminished therapeutic efficacy if a tissue plasminogen activator is administered to a patient who has been treated with an antifibrinolytic agent, and vice versa.
