Description

plasminogen activator, tissue type

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable phosphoprotein binding activity; serine-type endopeptidase activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; cellular response to gonadotropin stimulus; and plasminogen activation. Located in extracellular space. Is active in several cellular components, including glutamatergic synapse; neuronal dense core vesicle; and perisynaptic space. Used to study disseminated intravascular coagulation and status epilepticus. Biomarker of brain edema; middle cerebral artery infarction; sciatic neuropathy; transient cerebral ischemia; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including antiphospholipid syndrome; diabetic angiopathy; hemophilia (multiple); osteonecrosis; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human PLAT (plasminogen activator, tissue type). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
