UniProt functional annotation for P06869

UniProt code: P06869.

Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus.
 
Function: Specifically cleaves the zymogen plasminogen to form the active enzyme plasmin. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00749}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Specific cleavage of Arg-|-Val bond in plasminogen to form plasmin.; EC=3.4.21.73;
Activity regulation: Inhibited by SERPINA5. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00749}.
Subunit: Found in high and low molecular mass forms. Each consists of two chains, A and B. The high molecular mass form contains a long chain A which is cleaved to yield a short chain A. Forms heterodimer with SERPINA5. Binds LRP1B; binding is followed by internalization and degradation. Interacts with MRC2. Interacts with PLAUR. In complex with SERPINE1, interacts with PLAUR/uPAR. Interacts with SORL1 and LRP1, either alone or in complex with SERPINE1; these interactions are abolished in the presence of LRPAP1/RAP. The ternary complex composed of PLAUR-PLAU-PAI1 also interacts with SORLA. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00749}.
Subcellular location: Secreted {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00749}.
Ptm: Produced as an inactive single-chain protein (pro-uPA or sc-uPA), is processed into the active disulfide-linked two-chain form of PLAU/uPA by a proteolytic event mediated, at least, by TMPRSS4. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00749}.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00274}.
