Tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor in the epidermis. 1985

K Hashimoto, and I Katayama, and K Nishioka

The presence of a tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor in the epidermis was investigated. A partially purified tissue plasminogen activator from a Bowes melanoma cell line medium was used as a tissue plasminogen activator. Extracts of epidermis dissolved in a 10 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, were found to contain a tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor. The same extracts also contained a urokinase inhibitor. It is not clear whether these inhibitors are the same. This study is the first to show the existence of a tissue plasminogen activator inhibitor in the epidermis.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.

D010959 Tissue Plasminogen Activator A proteolytic enzyme in the serine protease family found in many tissues which converts PLASMINOGEN to FIBRINOLYSIN. It has fibrin-binding activity and is immunologically different from UROKINASE-TYPE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR. The primary sequence, composed of 527 amino acids, is identical in both the naturally occurring and synthetic proteases.
