Description

Plasminogen activator, also known as PA, is a serine protease which converts inactive proenzyme plasminogen to active protease plasmin. PA has been classified in two types: urokinase–like activator and tissues plasminogen activator (t-PA). The principal plasminogen activator is t-PA, which is synthesized mainly by endothelial cells, and is secreted locally after stimulation of the endothelium by histamine, adrenalin, thrombin, FXa, and hypoxia. T-PA is secreted as a protein of 527 amino acids. The molecule possesses four highly conserved structural domains: the amino-terminal fibronectin type-1 domain, an epidermal growth factor-like domain, two kringle domains, and the carboxi-terminal which contains the serine protease catalytic domain. The concentration of t-PA in serum is approximately 0.1 nM under normal physiological conditions, and a big portion of t-PA in serum is associated to plasminogen-activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1). The inhibitor interacts with positively charged amino acids near the catalytic site of t-PA. The t-PA-PAI-1 inactive heterodimeric complexes are cleared from the circulation by the liver, while the complexes are internalized by the low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP-1). T-PA plays an important role in the removal of intravascular fibrin deposits, and it has been used in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.

Storage & Handling
Unopened vial can be stored at -70°C for six months. For maximum results, quick spin vial prior to opening. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Activity
Human t-PA cleaves the peptide substrate Bz-GGR-AMC with a specific activity value higher than 300 pmol/µg/min.
Application

Bioassay

Application Notes

BioLegend carrier-free recombinant proteins provided in liquid format are shipped on blue-ice. Our comparison testing data indicates that when handled and stored as recommended, the liquid format has equal or better stability and shelf-life compared to commercially available lyophilized proteins after reconstitution. Our liquid proteins are verified in-house to maintain activity after shipping on blue ice and are backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you have any concerns, contact us at tech@biolegend.com.

Antigen Details

Distribution

It is produced mainly by endothelial cells. It is found in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of most animal tissues and fluids such as urine and blood.

Function
Converts plasminogen into plasmin, cell migration, angiogenesis, wound repair, inflammation, immunity, and tumor metatases. It is regulated by plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 or neuroserpin.
Interaction
Many cell types, which include hepatocytes, fibroblasts, hepatic stellate cells, monocytes, and macrophages.
Ligand/Receptor
PAI-1 and LRP-1.
Bioactivity
Human t-PA activity is measured by its ability to cleave a fluorogenic peptitde substrate Bz-GGR-AMC.

How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?

We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!

What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?

The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.

Have your recombinants been tested for stability?

Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.

Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?

Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.

How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?

Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
