physiological function | urokinase-type plasminogen activator is a protease involved in tissue remodeling and cell migration, increased expression of uPA in pterygium may covert plasminogen to plasmin, degrade extracellular matrixes, stimulate cell migration, induce angiogenesis, and plays an important role in the development and progression of pterygium | Homo sapiens |
