INTRODUCTION
Urokinase (UK) is a serine protease, which is one of biological plasminogen activators.
It is involved in a number of biological functions including fibrinolysis, embryogenesis, cell migration, tissue remodeling, ovulation, and wound healing.
It can be obtained from human urine or kidney cell culture.
DESCRIPTION
Urokinase Human Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 419 amino acids (21-431) and having a molecular mass of 47.4kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 40-57kDa).
Urokinase is fused to 8 amino acid His-Tag at C-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
