Definition for Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)
Tissue plasminogen activator (abbreviated tPA or PLAT ) is a protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots. Specifically, it is a serine protease ( EC 3.4.21.68 ) found on endothelial cells , the cells that line the blood vessels .

Tissue plasminogen activator (abbreviated tPA or PLAT ) is a protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots. Specifically, it is a serine protease ( EC 3.4.21.68 ) found on endothelial cells , the cells that line the blood vessels . As an enzyme , it catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin , the major enzyme responsible for clot breakdown. Because it works on the clotting system , tPA is used in clinical medicine to treat stroke .
