Tissue Specificity | Expressed in the prostate gland and prostate cancers. |
Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylation of Ser-158 and Ser-323 abolishes proadhesive ability but does not interfere with receptor binding. Produced as an inactive single-chain protein (pro-uPA or sc-uPA), is processed into the active disulfide-linked two-chain form of PLAU/uPA by a proteolytic event mediated, at least, by TMPRSS4. |
Function | Specifically cleaves the zymogen plasminogen to form the active enzyme plasmin. |
