Original article a2-antiplasmin and its deficiency: fibrinolysis out of balance... Fibrinolysis occurs because the protein plasminogen is converted to the active serine protease plasmin by its activating molecules (primarily tissue plasminogen activator)....
Biochemical and biological properties of single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activatorConversion of the circulating proenzyme plasmino-gen to the active serine protease plasmin is the key step that must occur for physiological fibrinolysis to take place....
Genes for the alpha and gamma subunits of mouse nerve growth factor are contiguous.... The gamma subunit is an active serine protease and is thought to cleave pro-beta-NGF to generate the mature growth factor....
Kallikrein-related peptidase-8 (klk8) is an active serine protease in human epidermis and sweat and is involved in a skin barrier proteolytic cascade... Together, our data identify KLK8 as a new active serine protease in human stratum corneum and sweat, and we propose regulators and targets that augment its involvement in a skin barrier proteolytic cascade....
