Tissue-type plasminogen activator. Tissue-type plasminogen activator, short name tPA, is a protein that facilitates the breakdown of blood clots. It acts as an enzyme to convert plasminogen into its active form plasmin, the major enzyme responsible for clot breakdown. It is a serine protease ( EC 3.4.21.68) found on endothelial cells lining the ...

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 ( PAI-1) also known as endothelial plasminogen activator inhibitor ( serpin E1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SERPINE1 gene. Elevated PAI-1 is a risk factor for thrombosis and atherosclerosis. [ 5]
Tenecteplase. Tenecteplase, sold under the trade names TNKase, Metalyse and Elaxim, is an enzyme used as a thrombolytic drug . Tenecteplase is a tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) produced by recombinant DNA technology using an established mammalian cell line ( Chinese hamster ovary cells ). Tenecteplase is a 527 amino acid glycoprotein ...
Plasminogen activators are serine proteases that catalyze the activation of plasmin via proteolytic cleavage of its zymogen form plasminogen. Plasmin is an important factor in fibrinolysis, the breakdown of fibrin polymers formed during blood clotting. There are two main plasminogen activators: urokinase (uPA) and tissue plasminogen activator ...
