LEC5 - FIBRINOLYSIS Flashcards
the degradation of fibrin into monomers and polymers
fibrinolysis
are building block of fibrin that are formed during the coagulation process when the thrombin cleaves fibrinogen (soluble plasma protein) into fibrin
monomers
are large molecules composed of repeated subunits of monomers
polymers
it is a system whereby the temporary fibrin clot is systematically and gradually dissolved as the vessel heals in order to restore normal blood blood
fibrinolysis
it is the final stage of coagulation
fibrinolysis
what are the 2 primary activator of plasminogen to start fibrinolysis
tissue plasminogen activator or tPA
and urokinase-type plasminogen activator
is the systematic accelerating hydrolysis of fibrin bound by plasmin
fibrinolysis
excessive fibrinolysis can cause ___ due to premature clot lysis before wound healing is established
bleeding
plasminogen is produced by what organ
liver
single chain protein with five glycosylated loops
kringles
it enables plasminogen, with and UPA to bind fibrin lysine molecule during polymerization
kringles
what are the 2 types of fibrinolysis
primary and secondary
this type of fibrinolysis is a natural process wherein we dissolve clot to prevent excessive clotting and help the healing of the injury
primary fibrinolysis
this type of fibrinolysis wherein there’s a dissolution of fibrin clot in response to certain condition
secondary fibrinolysis
example of conditions wherein the secondary fibrinolysis are observed
disseminated intravascular coagulation
infection
neoplasm
snake bite
HTR
a protein that digest fibrin or fibrinogen
plasminogen
a serine proteases secreted by activated endothelium which activates plasminogen
TPA
serine protease secreted by kidney and activates plasminogen
UPA - urokinase
secreted by endothelium, inhibits tissue plasminogen activator
PAU 1 - plasminogen activator inhibitor 1
inhibits plasmin
a2 - antiplasmin
suppresses fibrinolysis by removing fibrin C terminal lysine binding sites
thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor
an endogenous plasminogen activator wherein it hydrolyzes fibrin bound plasminogen converting it to plasmin thus initiating fibrinolysis
tissue plasminogen activator
