venom-mediated plasminogen activation

Term ID

GO:0044544

Synonyms

• envenomation resulting in plasminogen activation in another organism
• envenomation resulting in plasminogen activation in other organism

Definition

A process in which an organism initiates, promotes, or enhances the activation of plasminogen into plasmin in another organism via the action of a venom. This process includes cleavage at an internal Arg-Val site to form an N-terminal A-chain and C-terminal B-chain held together by a disulfide bond, and can include further proteolytic cleavage events to remove the preactivation peptide.
