'''Plasmin''' (PLN) is a serine protease which is involved in degradation of fibrin clots. PLN is released as the zymogen '''plasminogen''' (PLG) which is converted to the active PLN by a variety of enzymes. PLN cleavage produces angiostatin. | '''Plasmin''' (PLN) is a serine protease which is involved in degradation of fibrin clots.

| - | PLN contains 7 domains are: N-terminal, C-terminal serine protease catalytic domain and 5 kringle domains of ca. 80 residues. The kringle domain folds into a large loop containing 3 disulfide bonds. The kringle domain is important in protein-protein interaction with blood coagulation factors.<ref>PMID:22832192</ref>. | + | PLN contains 7 domains which are: N-terminal, C-terminal serine protease catalytic domain and 5 kringle domains of ca. 80 residues.
