Native plasminogen (EACA- and lysine-free) from human plasma. Single chain glycoprotein containing 790 amino acid residues. Found in normal plasma at about 12 mg/100 ml. Inactive precursor of the serine protease plasmin. It is converted to the active protease by cleavage at Arg⁵⁶⁰.

Lyophilized from 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer, 10 mg D-mannitol, 10 mg NaCl.

Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C) for long-term storage or refrigerate (4°C) for short-term storage. Stock solutions are stable for at least 1 week at 4°C or for 1-2 months at -20°C.

Prepared from plasma that has been shown by certified tests to be negative for HBsAg and for antibodies to HIV and HCV.

One unit is defined as the amount of enzyme that will hydrolyze 1 µmol of N-tosyl-Gly-Pro-Lys-pNA per min at 25°C, pH 7.8.
