plasminogen activator [plaz-min´o-jen ak´tĭ-va″tor] any of a group of substances that cleave plasminogen and convert it to plasmin, its active form, e.g., tissue plasminogen activator.plas·min·o·gen ac·ti·va·tora proteinase converting plasminogen to plasmin by cleavage of an Arg-Val bond in the former. Synonym(s): urokinaseplas·min·o·gen ac·ti·va·tor (plaz-min'ŏ-jen ak'ti-vā-tŏr) A proteinase that converts plasminogen to plasmin by cleavage of a single (usually Arg-Val) bond in the former. Prevents formation of fibrin clots. Alteplase and streptokinase are examples of medications that promote thrombolysis by activating plasminogen.
Synonym(s): urokinase. plas·min·o·gen ac·ti·va·tor (plaz-min'ŏ-jen ak'ti-vā-tŏr) A proteinase that converts plasminogen to plasmin and prevents formation of fibron clots.
