Plasmin is derived from plasminogen, an inert protein precursor that can be activated by tissue factors (called lysokinases) or by contact through factor XII. An activator, urokinase, is also released by blood-vessel lining and is present in normal urine. Certain bacteria produce plasminogen activators, the streptococci being the most potent. Plasmin is rapidly destroyed in the bloodstream and normally acts only when taken up by ribrin.  3, record 1, English, - urokinase
