Swiss-port # P06869 Mouse Urokinase-type plasminogen activator |
|---|---|
| Gene Symbol | PLAU |
| Gene Full Name | plasminogen activator, urokinase |
| Background | This gene encodes a serine protease involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix and possibly tumor cell migration and proliferation. A specific polymorphism in this gene may be associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease and also with decreased affinity for fibrin-binding. This protein converts plasminogen to plasmin by specific cleavage of an Arg-Val bond in plasminogen. Plasmin in turn cleaves this protein at a Lys-Ile bond to form a two-chain derivative in which a single disulfide bond connects the amino-terminal A-chain to the catalytically active, carboxy-terminal B-chain. This two-chain derivative is also called HMW-uPA (high molecular weight uPA). HMW-uPA can be further processed into LMW-uPA (low molecular weight uPA) by cleavage of chain A into a short chain A (A1) and an amino-terminal fragment. LMW-uPA is proteolytically active but does not bind to the uPA receptor. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

| Function | Specifically cleaves the zymogen plasminogen to form the active enzyme plasmin. [UniProt] |
| Cellular Localization | Secreted. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 49 kDa |
| PTM | Phosphorylation of Ser-158 and Ser-323 abolishes proadhesive ability but does not interfere with receptor binding. [UniProt] |
