'''Urokinase''' (UK) or '''urokinase plasminogen activator''' is a serine protease whose principal substrate is plasminogen – the inactive zymogen of plasmin<ref>PMID:21711235</ref>. UK consists of 3 domains: ligand-binding domain and kringle and growth factor domains. Prourokinase (PUK) is the inactive zymogen of UK which becomes active by proteolytic cleavage into catalytic domain (residues 179-431) and short chain (residues 156-178).
