Background
tPA (Tissue-type plasminogen activator), also known as Plat, is a serine proteinase found in the intravascular space and the CNS. In the brain tPA is found in the endothelial cell–basement membrane–astrocyte interface, where it modulates cerebrovascular tone and the permeability of the blood-brain barrier. tPA is a key component in the dissolution of blood clots, primarily by catalyzing the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin, the primary enzyme involved in dissolving blood clots.
