Urokinase (UK) is a serine protease, which is one of biological plasminogen activators.
It is involved in a number of biological functions including fibrinolysis, embryogenesis, cell migration, tissue remodeling, ovulation, and wound healing.
It can be obtained from human urine or kidney cell culture.
Urokinase is a two-chain glycoprotein containing 411 amino acids with 12 dissulfide bonds. Its molecular weight is 54,000 Dalton.
Human urine
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
The UK was lyophilized from a concentrated (1mg/ml) solution with no additives.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Urokinase in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
Lyophilized Urokinase although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Urokinase should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.
Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Activity greater than 68,000 IU/mg.
1nM UK will cause a change in absorbance of 0.001 at 405nm in 1 minute at R/T in 100 ul 0.05M Tris-HCl, 0.1M NaCl, pH 7.4, using S2444 (0.6mM) as the substrate.
Free of: Hepatitis B surface antigen, Hepatitis C antibody and HIV I and II.
