Abstract excerpt
TNK-tissue plasminogen activator (TNK-t-PA), a bioengineered variant of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), has a longer half-life than t-PA because the glycosylation site at amino acid 117 (N117Q, abbreviated N) has been shifted to amino acid 103 (T103N, abbreviated T) and is resistant to inactivation by plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 because of a tetra-alanine substitution in the protease domain...
