Product Properties
Storage Instruction
If unopened the kit may be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 month. If the kit will not be used within 1 month, store the components separately, according to the component table in the manual.
This kit recognizes Human PLAU/uPA in samples. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human PLAU/uPA and analogues was observed.
Sample Type
Serum, plasma and other biological fluids
Additional Info
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.
