Mechanism of Action
Plasminogen is a naturally occurring protein synthesized by the liver and circulates in the blood
Activated plasminogen, plasmin, is a fundamental component of the fibrinolytic system, blood clot lysis and extravasated fibrin clearance
Plasminogen is vital in wound healing, cell migration, tissue remodeling, angiogenesis, and embryogenesis
Plasminogen deficiency marked by low plasminogen levels, results in various rare conditions (eg, ligneous conjunctivitis); plasminogen replenishes deficient levels in the body
