Plasminogen

Precursor of plasmin (FIBRINOLYSIN). It is a single-chain beta-globulin of molecular weight 80-90,000 found mostly in association with fibrinogen in plasma; plasminogen activators change it to fibrinolysin. It is used in wound debriding and has been investigated as a thrombolytic agent.

Also Known As:

Glu-Plasminogen; Glutamic Acid 1-Plasminogen; Glutamyl Plasminogen; 1-Plasminogen, Glutamic Acid; Glu Plasminogen; Glutamic Acid 1 Plasminogen; Plasminogen, Glutamyl; Profibrinolysin
