Anti-Urokinase plasminogen act

Anti-Urokinase plasminogen activator (human, uPA)

Cat. No.

MON U-6

Product name

Anti-Urokinase plasminogen activator (human, uPA)

Description

Mouse monoclonal antibody

Specificity

MON U-6 is specific for human uPA. No reaction with human tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is seen when tested by ELISA, immunoblotting and enzyme inhibition. No reaction with any other human plasma proteins is seen when tested by immunoblotting. MON U-6 binds single and two-chain uPA, uPA/PAI-1 complex and uPA/uPAR complex. A reaction is seen with the amino terminal fragment (ATF) but not with LMW uPA. 

Immunogen

Native human uPA.

Target

Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) is a serine protease. It converts the abundant proenzyme plasminogen to active plasmin and plays a key role in cancer invasion and a variety of tissue remodelling processes such as wound healing, mammary gland involution and placental development. Elevated levels of uPA are associated with poor prognosis in many types of cancer (1).
