Urokinase-induced fibrin clot lysis and its inhibition by plasma. 1980

G Carlin

The kinetics of the urokinase-induced plasmin digestion of fibrin clots has been studied. Some theoretical aspects on the kinetics of the underlying enzyme reactions are presented. It is shown that the clot-lysis time may be used to measure the relative amounts of fibrinolysis inhibitors in plasma.

D010450 Endopeptidases A subclass of PEPTIDE HYDROLASES that catalyze the internal cleavage of PEPTIDES or PROTEINS. Endopeptidase,Peptide Peptidohydrolases
D005337 Fibrin A protein derived from FIBRINOGEN in the presence of THROMBIN, which forms part of the blood clot. Antithrombin I
D005341 Fibrinolysin A product of the lysis of plasminogen (profibrinolysin) by PLASMINOGEN activators. It is composed of two polypeptide chains, light (B) and heavy (A), with a molecular weight of 75,000. It is the major proteolytic enzyme involved in blood clot retraction or the lysis of fibrin and quickly inactivated by antiplasmins.
