1 Fibrinogen present in EDTA--anticoagulated plasma stimulates the tissue-type plasminogen activator-catalysed conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. Edetic Acid fibrinogen beta chain Homo sapiens
2 It was previously shown that treatment of purified fibrinogen by EDTA, which removes the three tightly bound Ca2+ ions, results in exposure of tissue-type plasminogen activator-catalytic sites similar to those unveiled by thrombin. Edetic Acid fibrinogen beta chain Homo sapiens
3 The most probable explanation is that tissue-type plasminogen activator-stimulating sites are exposed in fibrinogen by EDTA. Edetic Acid fibrinogen beta chain Homo sapiens
