malfunction | altered tPA activity levels in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and spinocerebellar ataxia type-1, SCA1. Decreased tPA activity is detected in the cortex and subcortex of Alzheimer's disease mice, whereas increased tPA activity is found in the cerebellum of SCA1 mice | Mus musculus |
physiological function | tPA is an initiator of intravascular fibrinolysis and is a complex mediator of brain function and dysfunction. tPA participates in various forms of chronic neurodegeneration, and plays a functional role following morphine administration, epileptic seizures, traumatic brain injury and ischaemic stroke-neurological settings | Mus musculus |
