Cat#:PA-870F;Product Name:Rat Anti-Mouse Plasminogen Antibody;Synonym:Plg; Pg; AI649309; lasminogen; angiostatin; plasmin heavy chain A; plasmin light chain B;Background:Plasmin is an important enzyme (EC 3.4.21.7) present in blood that degrades many blood plasma proteins, most notably, fibrin clots. The degradation of fibrin is termed fibrinolysis. In humans, the plasmin protein is encoded by the PLG gene. Plasmin is a serine protease that acts to dissolve fibrin blood clots. Apart from fibrinolysis, plasmin proteolyses proteins in various other systems: It activates collagenases, some mediators of the complement system and weakens the wall of the Graafian follicle (leading to ovulation). It cleaves fibrin, fibronectin, thrombospondin, laminin, and von Willebrand factor. Plasmin, like trypsin, belongs to the family of serine proteases.;Description:Rat Anti-Mouse Plasminogen Monoclonal Antibody;Host Species:Rat;Species Reactivity:mouse;Clone#:AMPG-9141;Isotype:N/A;Application:WB, ELA;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C.
