Abstract

The invention relates to thrombolytically active pro-urokinase (pro-UK) mutants comprising the amino acid sequence of native pro-UK, but including a mutation which causes the pro-UK mutants to induce less fibrinogenolysis and non-specific plasminogen activation than native pro-UK, to have at least a 10-fold lower intrinsic activity than native pro-UK, and to have substantially the same fibrin promotion and thrombolytic activity after plasmin activation compared to native pro-UK when administered to a patient.
