MeSH definition : Precursor of plasmin (FIBRINOLYSIN). It is a single-chain beta-globulin of molecular
weight 80-90,000 found mostly in association with fibrinogen in plasma; plasminogen
activators change it to fibrinolysin. It is used in wound debriding and has been investigated
as a thrombolytic agent.;
MeSH annotation : an enzyme precursor & fibrinolytic agent; /antag: do not confuse with PLASMINOGEN
INACTIVATORS which modulate PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATORS, not PLASMINOGEN;
