Medically reviewed by Dr. Otari Nergadze, Neurosurgeon | Updated: January 2026

Abbokinase (Abbott Laboratories) - General Information

Low molecular weight form of human urokinase, that consists of an A chain of 2,000 daltons linked by a sulfhydryl bond to a B chain of 30,400 daltons. Recombinant urokinase plasminogen activator

 

Pharmacology of Abbokinase (Abbott Laboratories)

Abbokinase (Abbott Laboratories) is used for the treatment of pulmonary embolisms. The low molecular weight form of human urokinase consists of an A chain of 2,000 daltons linked by a sulfhydryl bond to a B chain of 30,400 daltons. Abbokinase (Abbott Laboratories) is an enzyme (protein) produced by the kidney, and found in the urine. There are two forms of urokinase which differ in molecular weight but have similar clinical effects. Abbokinase (Abbott Laboratories) is the low molecular weight form. Abbokinase (Abbott Laboratories) acts on the endogenous fibrinolytic system. It converts plasminogen to the enzyme plasmin. Plasmin degrades fibrin clots as well as fibrinogen and some other plasma proteins.

Abbokinase (Abbott Laboratories) Indication

For the treatment of pulminary embolism, coronary artery thrombosis and IV catheter clearance

Mechanism Of Action
Abbokinase (Abbott Laboratories) acts on the endogenous fibrinolytic system. It cleaves the Arg-Val bond in plasminogen to produce active plasmin. Plasmin degrades fibrin clots as well as fibrinogen and other plasma proteins.
