Complete Deficiency of Plasminogen-Activator Inhibitor Type 1 Due to a Frame-Shift Mutation
10 Dec 1992
Abstract excerpt
THE process of plasminogen activation is considered a critical component of diverse biologic systems in humans. This reaction, which is catalyzed in vivo by tissue-type and urokinase-type plasminogen activators, results in the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. Plasmin has an essential role in maintaining vascular patency by converting fibrin to soluble fibrin-degradation products. In addition, plasminogen...
