'''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. | '''Plasmin''' (PLN) is a serine protease which is involved in degradation of fibrin clots.
