Summary
This gene encodes tissue-type plasminogen activator, a secreted serine protease that converts the proenzyme plasminogen to plasmin, a fibrinolytic enzyme. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed by plasmin or trypsin to generate heavy and light chains. These chains associate via disulfide linkages to form the heterodimeric enzyme. This enzyme plays a role in cell migration and tissue remodeling. Increased enzymatic activity causes hyperfibrinolysis, which manifests as excessive bleeding, while decreased activity leads to hypofibrinolysis, which can result in thrombosis or embolism. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that is proteolytically processed. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

Protein Information
 
Protein Name
Tissue-type plasminogen activator, alteplase, plasminogen/activator kringle, reteplase, t-plasminogen activator
 
Function
Converts the abundant, but inactive, zymogen plasminogen to plasmin by hydrolyzing a single Arg-Val bond in plasminogen. By controlling plasmin-mediated proteolysis, it plays an important role in tissue remodeling and degradation, in cell migration and many other physiopathological events. Plays a direct role in facilitating neuronal migration

Testosterone 
PCOS 
 
PCOS was defined as androgen excess (total testosterone >3.6 nmol/liter, or a free androgen index9) with ovulatory dysfunction (less than six menstrual cycles per year), once specific disorders such as adult onset congenital adrenal hyperplasia.

Seventeen women with PCOS (defined on the basis of elevated testosterone and oligomenorrhea) and 15 healthy women  
The study suggests that elevated t-PA and dysfibrinolysis may be a factor in the increased cardiovascular morbidity seen in PCOS.

Women with thePCOSmay have an imbalance in theplasminogen activatorsystem that is tilted toward a reduced production of the proteolytic enzyme plasmin.
