Urokinase is an endogenous peptide that is cleaved in the presence of plasmin between lysine 158 and isoleucine 159 to yield active urokinase. Urokinase remains connected between these 2 chains by a sulfhydryl bond.
Urokinase was granted FDA approval on 16 January 1978.
In Canada, urokinase is indicated for lysis of acute massive pulmonary emboli, acute thrombi obstructing coronary arteries, occlusive thromboemboli in peripheral arteries and grafts, and restoration of patency to intravenous catheters.
