| 1. | Alpha 2-antiplasmin and alpha 2-macroglobulin inactivate plasmin.
|
| 2. | The excess plasmin also activates the complement and kinin systems.
|
| 3. | It functions as an inhibitor of fibrinolysis by inhibiting plasmin and kallikrein.
|
| 4. | Plasmin is a serine protease that acts to dissolve fibrin blood clots.
|
| 5. | Plasmin, like trypsin, belongs to the family of serine proteases.
|
| 6. | The inhibitor also inactivates kallikrein and plasmin, also involved in blood coagulation.
|
| 7. | Plasmin deficiency may lead to thrombosis, as clots are not adequately degraded.
|
| 8. | It is also capable of generating plasmin from plasminogen:
|
| 9. | Plasmin production by many cells is dependent on p11.
|
| 10. | It inhibits proteases like chymotrypsin, kallikrein, plasmin, thrombin, and trypsin.
