This protein is not a protease, but it activates plasminogen by complexing with it. As a potential virulence factor, it is thought to prevent the formation of effective fibrin barriers around the site of infection, thereby contributing to the invasiveness of the cells. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa27-440 from Streptococcus sp Streptokinase G, expressed in E. coli. Molecular Weight: ~47.3kD Biological Activity: Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The specific activity determined by fibrining lysis in agarose plate is 8.0x10e4IU/mg.
