Physiological consequences of loss of plasminogen activator gene function in mice

P Carmeliet et al. Nature. 1994.

Abstract

Indirect evidence suggests a crucial role for the fibrinolytic system and its physiological triggers, tissue-type (t-PA) and urokinase-type (u-PA) plasminogen activator, in many proteolytic processes. Inactivation of the t-PA gene impairs clot lysis and inactivation of the u-PA gene results in occasional fibrin deposition. Mice with combined t-PA and u-PA deficiency suffer extensive spontaneous fibrin deposition, with its associated effects on growth, fertility and survival.
