Plasminogen is the zymogen of plasmin, a key enzyme in the fibrinolysis system. Plasminogen is synthesized mainly by the liver but also the eosinophils, the kidney and the cornea. It exists in 2 molecular forms: glu-plasminogen (native form) and lys-plasminogen (more active form). The main pathways for activating plasminogen to plasmin involve t-PA and u-PA.
Lyophilized antibody stored at 4 ° C from a 1 mg / mL solution in PBS buffer of pH 7.4 with 0.02% sodium azide and 20 mg / mL mannitol. After reconstitution with 0.5mL of distilled water, aliquot the antibody and store it at -20 ° C. Avoid repeated freeze / thaw cycles.
