Function
(Microbial infection) Interacts with dengue virus type 2 particles. Enhances dengue virus type 2 infection in Aedes aegypti mosquito midgut by increasing midgut internalization, resulting in higher infection rates and viral dissemination in mosquitoes.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Present in plasma and many other extracellular fluids. It is synthesized in the liver
Disease Association: Plasminogen deficiency (PLGD) : A disorder characterized by decreased serum plasminogen activity. Two forms of the disorder are distinguished: type 1 deficiency is additionally characterized by decreased plasminogen antigen levels and clinical symptoms, whereas type 2 deficiency, also known as dysplasminogenemia, is characterized by normal, or slightly reduced antigen levels, and absence of clinical manifestations. Plasminogen deficiency type 1 results in markedly impaired extracellular fibrinolysis and chronic mucosal pseudomembranous lesions due to subepithelial fibrin deposition and inflammation. The most common clinical manifestation of type 1 deficiency is ligneous conjunctivitis in which pseudomembranes formation on the palpebral surfaces of the eye progresses to white, yellow-white, or red thick masses with a wood-like consistency that replace the normal mucosa.

HAE4 is an autosomal dominant form with incomplete penetrance, variable expressivity, and female predominance. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
