Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 5328
Gene name Plasminogen activator, urokinase
Gene symbol PLAU
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ATFBDPLT5QPDUPAURKu-PA
Chromosome 10
Chromosome location 10q22.2
Summary This gene encodes a secreted serine protease that converts plasminogen to plasmin. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate A and B polypeptide chains. These chains associate via a single disulfide bond to form the catalytically
