General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | the enzyme belongs to the trypsin superfamily of enzymes | Homo sapiens |
metabolism | the urokinase plasminogen activation pathways are comprised of urokinase-type plasminogen activator, its plasmalemmal receptor, and extracellular plasminogen | Homo sapiens |
additional information | highly invasive cancers of breast, brain, prostate and lung notably have increased levels of the enzyme, its receptor uPAR, or an endogenous inhibitor protein PAI-1, which correlate with the propensity of a cancer cell type to invade and to disseminate | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | activated extracellular enzyme cleaves plasminogen to plasmin, which initiates an extracellular protease cascade to degrade the extracellular matrix and facilitate cellular processes such as cellular migration, angiogenesis, tissue remodeling, and wound repair | Homo sapiens |
