PLAUR Human

Source: Sf9, Baculovirus cells.Sterile Filtered colorless solution.PLAUR is one of 2 activators which convert the extracellular zymogen plasminogen to plasmin, a serine protease involved in a various normal and pathological processes that require cell migration and/or tissue destruction. PLAUR protein is synthesized and released from cells as a single-chain proenzyme with narrow enzymatic activity and is converted to an active two-chain disulfide-linked active enzyme by plasmin and other specific proteinases.PLAUR produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 291 amino acids (23-305 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 32.5kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 40-57 kDa).PLAUR is fused to a 8 amino acid His-tag at C-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Protein function: Acts as a receptor for urokinase plasminogen activator. Plays a role in localizing and promoting plasmin formation. Mediates the proteolysis-independent signal transduction activation effects of U-PA. It is subject to negative-feedback regulation by U-PA which cleaves it into an inactive form.
