PLAT, also known as tissue-type plasminogen activator isoform 1, is a protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots. This protein is secreted as a single chain polypeptide precursor which is cleaved in turn by plasmin. Also, active PLAT converts plasminogen to plasmin, a fibrinolytic protease, by hydrolyzing an Arg-Val peptide bond in plasminogen. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa36-310 from human PLAT, fused to His-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in insect cell.
