Fibrinolysis

Fibrinolysis 

Fibrinolysis 

Blue arrows denote stimulation and red arrows inhibition.

This diagram describes the process of fibrinolysis. First, the plasmogen is acted upon by tPA, plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 and 2, urokinase, and factor XIa, XIIa Kallakrein. Then plasma is acted upon by o2 antiplasmin and o2 macroglobulin. Fibrin and fibrin degradation products are acted upon by thrombin and thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor.
