plasminogen — Definition
Plazminojen / plasminogen
Plazminogen is an inactive precursor protein produced by the liver and circulating in the blood. In physiological conditions, tissue is converted into plasmine, which is active form by enzymes such as plasminogen activator (tPA) or urokinase. Plazmin initiates fibrinolytic process by shreding fibrin clots and prevents vascular clot formation. The lack of plasminogen as a clinic can increase the risk of thrombosis and plays a role in some congenital coagulation disorders.
