Abstract excerpt
Urokinase (u-PA)-mediated cell surface plasminogen activation is required for cellular tissue invasion. This invasion occurs in environments rich in plasminogen activator inhibitors (PAIs), which efficiently inhibit receptor-bound two-chain u-PA. Single-chain u-PA (scu-PA) was recently found to efficiently initiate cell surface plasminogen activation, and we herein describe the interaction of scu-PA with PAI type...
