Biomolecule/Target:
Alternates names: Urokinase, PLAU, ATF, UPA, URK, u-PA, BDPLT5, QPD
Synonyms: Urokinase, PLAU, ATF, UPA, URK, u-PA, BDPLT5, QPD
Background Information: Urokinase-type plasminogen activator is also known as PLAU and UPA, a serine protease with an extremely limited substrate specificity, cleaving the sequence Cys – Pro – Gly - Arg560 - Val561 – Val – Gly – Gly – Cys in plasminogen to form plasmin. uPA is a potent marker of invasion and metastasis in a variety of human cancers associated with breast, stomach, colon, bladder, ovary, brain and endometrium.uPA and its receptor (uPAR) have been implicated in a broad spectrum of pathophysiological processes, including fibrinolysis, proteolysis, inflammation, atherogenesis and plaque destabilization, all of which are involved in the pathogenesis of MI (myocardial infarction).
