Abstract excerpt
Variants of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) were constructed with selected cysteines replaced by alanine to evaluate the role of an unpaired cysteine, which has been presumed to be in the growth factor module. C75A, C83A, C84A and CC83-84AA variants of t-PA were expressed transiently in human embryonic kidney cells. The biochemical properties of these variants provided experimental evidence to identify...
