Comparative StudyDegradation of Glu- and Lys-plasminogen by elastase in the presence or absence of tranexamic acid.
Glu-plasminogen (Glu-plg) was degraded by elastase in the presence or absence of tranexamic acid. Glu-plg was degraded faster in the presence of tranexamic acid. ⋯ As to the degradation rate of two isozymes of Glu-plg (Glu-plg I and II), Glu-plg II containing one carbohydrate chain was degraded faster than Glu-plg I containing two carbohydrate chains. Comparison of the degradation rates of Glu-plg and Lys-plg indicated that Lys-plg was degraded faster.
