Plasmin is a serine protease enzyme that plays a crucial role in the fibrinolytic system, which is responsible for the breakdown of fibrin in blood clots. It is produced from its inactive precursor, plasminogen, through the action of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) or urokinase. Plasmin exhibits specificity for peptide bonds adjacent to lysine residues, facilitating the degradation of fibrin and other plasma proteins. This enzyme is essential for maintaining hemostasis and is involved in various physiological processes, including wound healing and tissue remodeling. Plasmin is also implicated in pathological conditions such as thrombosis and cancer metastasis. In terms of its biochemical characteristics, plasmin operates optimally at physiological pH and temperature, and its activity can be influenced by various inhibitors, including α2-antiplasmin. Understanding plasmin's function and regulation is vital for developing therapeutic strategies for conditions related to abnormal clot formation or dissolution.
