<prompt> Functions of plasmin are all except-FibrinolysisActivation of collagenaseDestruction of VWFStabilization of fibrin  <response>: Ans. is d i.e., Stabilization of fibrin Plasmin is a proteolytic enzyme which belongs to serine protease family. Its function are:-i Fibrinolysis by break down of fibrin - It is the major function.ii Activation of Collagenaseiii Break down of matrix proteins fibrin, fibronectin, thrombospondin, laminin and von Willebrand factor. These effects are responsible for role of plasmin in embryogenesis, wound healing, angiogenesis and tumor growth dissemination. Plasmin released as zymogen inactive form, i.e. plasminogen from liver. In circulation, plasminogen is converted into active plasmin by tissue plasminogen activator tPA, urokinase plasminogen activator uPA, Kallikrein and Hageman factor factor XII.
