Background Information: Urokinase - type plasminogen activator also known as PLAU and UPA, a serine protease with 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. The human PLAU is initially synthesized as 431 amino acid precursor with a N-terminal signal peptide (20 residues). The single chain molecule is processed into a disulfide-linked two-chain molecule of different molecular weights. Two forms of the A chain exist, starting at Ser21 (the long form) and Lys156 (the short form). The long and short A chains are unique to the high and low molecular weight forms, respectively. The long A chain contains an EGF-like domain, responsible for binding of the PLAU receptor. The B chain corresponds to the catalytic domain.
Reconstitution Instructions: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in deionized water. Do not vortex. For extended storage, it is recommended to store at -70°C.
