Plasminogen activator (PLA) is a serine protease which converts plasminogen to plasmin. TPA structure contains heavy and light chains (HC, LC). PLA is inhibited by PLA inhibitor 1 and 2.

  • Tissue PLA (TPA) which is involved in breakdown of blood clots and urokinase-type PLA Urokinase.
  • Coagulase/fibrinolysin is a plasminogen activator from Yersinia pestis which possesses coagulase activity is responsible for degradation of plasmid-coded outer membrane proteins[1].

Relevance

Treatment with tissue PLA for acute ischemic stroke is beneficial[2].
