Cytokeratin 8 released by breast carcinoma cells in vitro binds plasminogen and tissue-type plasminogen activator and promotes plasminogen activation.

Cell-surface activation of plasminogen may be important in diseases that involve cellular migration, including atherosclerosis and tumour invasion/metastasis. Cytokeratin 8 (CK 8) has been identified as a plasminogen-binding protein expressed on the external surfaces of hepatocytes and breast carcin...
