Synthesis of human plasminogen by the liver

Science. 1980 May 30;208(4447):1036-7. doi: 10.1126/science.6990488.

Abstract

Genetic types of plasminogen were determined from a donor and a recipient before and after hepatic homotransplantation. Examination of the plasminogen types demonstrated that the liver is the principal site of synthesis of human plasminogen.
