Abstract
The contribution of the plasminogen system to fibronolysis is subject sophisticated and multifaceted regulatory mechanisms. Plasminogen activators, inhibitors of these activators and of plasmin, play critical roles in the initiation, propagation, and control of fibrinolysis. Additionally, the fibrin surface, per se, is an important regulator of its own degradation by providing specific binding sites for several components of the plasminogen system (plasminogen, tPA, α2-antiplasmin). Aberrations in any of these regulatory mechanisms can upset the delicate balance between thrombus formation and dissolution, resulting in thrombotic or bleeding tendencies.
