'''Plasmin''' (PLN) is a serine protease which is involved in degradation of fibrin clots.  PLN is released as the zymogen '''plasminogen''' (PLG) which is converted to the active PLN by a variety of enzymes.  PLN cleavage produces angiostatin.

PLN contains 7 domains are: N-terminal, C-terminal serine protease catalytic domain and 5 kringle domains of ca. 80 residues.  The kringle domain folds into a large loop containing 3 disulfide bonds.  The kringle domain is important in protein-protein interaction with blood coagulation factors.<ref>PMID:22832192</ref>.
