NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
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
By similarity.Angiostatin is an angiogenesis inhibitor that blocks neovascularization and growth of experimental primary and metastatic tumors in vivo
By similarity.
Catalytic activity: Preferential cleavage: Lys-|-Xaa > Arg-|-Xaa; higher selectivity than trypsin. Converts fibrin into soluble products.
Enzyme regulation: Converted into plasmin by plasminogen activators, both plasminogen and its activator being bound to fibrin. Cannot be activated with streptokinase.
Subunit structure: Interacts (both mature PLG and the angiostatin peptide) with AMOT and CSPG4. Interacts (via the Kringle domains) with HRG; the interaction tethers PLG to the cell surface and enhances its activation. Interacts (the angiostatin peptide) with ATP5A1; the interaction inhibits most of the angiogenic effects of angiostatin
By similarity.
Subcellular location: Secreted
By similarity. Note: Locates to the cell surface where it is proteolytically cleaved to produce the active plasmin. Interaction with HRG tethers it to the cell surface
By similarity.
Domain: Kringle domains mediate interaction with CSPG4
By similarity.
Post-translational modification: In the presence of the inhibitor, the activation involves only cleavage after Arg-581, yielding two chains held together by two disulfide bonds. In the absence of the inhibitor, the activation involves additionally the removal of the activation peptide
By similarity.
Miscellaneous: Plasmin is inactivated by alpha-2-antiplasmin immediately after dissociation from the clot.In the presence of the inhibitor, the activation involves only cleavage after Arg-581, resulting in 2 chains held together by 2 disulfide bonds. Without the inhibitor, the activation involves also removal of the activation peptide
By similarity.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Plasminogen subfamily.Contains 5 kringle domains.Contains 1 PAN domain.Contains 1 peptidase S1 domain.

Product Notes
The Plg plg (Catalog #AAA634873) is an Active Protein produced from Rat plasmin and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Plasmin, Rat, Active Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
