  1. Tissue-type plasminogen activator, short name tPA, is a protein that facilitates the breakdown of blood clots. It acts as an enzyme to convert plasminogen into its active form plasmin, the major enzyme responsible for clot breakdown. It is a serine protease ( EC 3.4.21.68) found on endothelial cells lining the blood vessels.

  2. Feb 20, 2023 · Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is classified as a serine protease (enzymes that cleave peptide bonds in proteins). It is thus one of the essential components of the dissolution of blood clots. Its primary function includes catalyzing the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, the primary enzyme involved in dissolving blood clots. Recombinant ...

  5. Jan 1, 1998 · Tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) was demonstrated to be effective in the first 3 hours after acute ischemic stroke in a pivotal randomized clinical trial sponsored by the National Institutes of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). 1 Questions regarding the safety and efficacy of t-PA in clinical practice still persist, in part because a...

  6. There is evidence that intravenous thrombolysis with t-PA given within 3 hours of stroke onset improves long-term outcome. 1 Appropriately selected patients treated with t-PA had a 30% to 50% greater likelihood of nearly complete functional and neurological recovery relative to placebo-treated control subjects.

  7. Dec 14, 1995 · We performed a randomized, double-blind trial of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) for ischemic stroke after recent pilot studies suggested that t-PA was...
