PLAT
Description
The PLAT (plasminogen activator, tissue type) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 8.
PLAT is a human gene that encodes the protein tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), a key enzyme involved in the breakdown of blood clots and other biological processes.
PLAT, also known as tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), is an enzyme that converts the inactive protein plasminogen to the active enzyme plasmin by breaking a specific bond. This process is crucial for various biological functions including tissue remodeling, cell migration, and preventing multiple sperm from fertilizing an egg.
PLAT is also known as T-PA, TPA.
