Sandwich ELISA quantitative detection kit for Human PLAT/TPA in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma (heparin, EDTA, citrate) and urine.
Plasminogen activator, tissue, also called PLAT or TPA is a serine protease. This gene encodes tissue-type plasminogen activator, a secreted serine protease which converts the proenzyme plasminogen to plasmin, a fibrinolytic enzyme. Tissue-type plasminogen activator is synthesized as a single chain which is cleaved by plasmin to a two chain disulfide linked protein. This gene was mapped to 8p11.21. This enzyme plays a role in cell migration and tissue remodeling. Increased enzymatic activity causes hyperfibrinolysis, which manifests as excessive bleeding; decreased activity leads to hypofibrinolysis which can result in thrombosis or embolism.
