Bioactivity | Plasmin is an important protease present in blood that degrades many plasma proteins, including fibrin clots. Plasmin can also act as a potent regulator of the immune process and can directly interact with various cell types, including monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells[1][2]. |
Invitro | Plasmin (20 μg/mL, 24 h) can activate PAR-1, strongly induce ERK phosphorylation, and degrade e-cadherin in mouse cortical tubular epithelial cell line (MCT)[1]. |
