Figure 1. Plasminogen is activated to plasmin by tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA).

Figure 1

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is the major inhibitor of tPA. Plasmin can cleave the proBDNF to yield mature BDNF (mBDNF). Uncleaved proBDNF binds to the p75 neurotrophin receptor. mBDNF binds to receptor tyrosine kinase B.
