plasmin
Term: plasmin
Literally meaning: ?plasma protein?
Origin: Anc Greek
??????(noun)/plasma (=something formed or molded, an idol) > ??????/plasso(=create, form, mold)
Coined/History
In 1933 Tillett and Garner discovered a fibrinolytic component contained within a broth culture of haemolytic Streptococci. In 1949 Tillett with Sol Sherry named this component streptokinase (SK) and administered this to patients for treatment of fibrinous adhesions. By 1957 the active form of this enzyme was called plasmin and its inactive form plasminogen.

Definition
Plasmin is a proteolytic enzyme for blood plasma proteins especialy for fibrin clots, after its activation of its proenzyme form, the plasminogen. Human plasmin is encoded by PLG gene and gene mutations may cause thrombosis.
