PLAU (P00749) variants and mutations

PLAU (also known as P00749) is a human protein-coding gene encoding an urokinase-type plasminogen activator protein. It activates plasminogen at cell surfaces and thereby promotes fibrinolysis, extracellular-matrix remodeling, and cell migration. Excess activity can support invasion in cancer and tissue remodeling, while its receptor-localized system also participates in wound healing and inflammation. This analysis covers 642 PLAU variants and mutations. Of these, 92% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes Quebec platelet disorder, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and myocardial infarction. Example PLAU variants include R2K, R2T, and R2R.
