PLN is released as the zymogen plasminogen (PLG) which is converted to the active PLN by a variety of enzymes. PLN cleavage produces angiostatin. Microplasmin induces posterior vitreous detachment from the retina (PVD)[1]. Disease PLN mutations are associated with ligneous conjunctivitis and other disorders which lead to development of pseudo membranes on mucosal surfaces[2]. Structural highlights which are: N-terminal, C-terminal serine protease catalytic domain and 5 kringle domains of ca. 80 residues. The , e.g. . The kringle domain is important in protein-protein interaction with blood coagulation factors.[3]. . Water molecules shown as red spheres. . . . .
