The function of PLGLA (plasminogen like A (pseudogene), Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000240935) is as follows. May bind non-covalently to lysine binding sites present in the kringle structures of plasminogen. This may interfere with the binding of fibrin or alpha-2-antiplasmin to plasminogen and may result in the localization of activity at sites necessary for extracellular matrix destruction (By similarity). .
