Plasminogen
The PLG gene encodes plasminogen which is a zymogen which when activated digests fibin thrombi. Mutations cause autosomal recessive plasminogen deficiency and conjunctivitis lignosa. The cleaved off peptice has angiostatic activity. No disorder is yet known that is caused by dysfunction of that peptide.
