Coagulase/fibrinolysin

312 amino acids

Seems to play an essential role in plague transmission by mediating flea blockage in a temperature-dependent fashion. Fibrinolytic activity prevails at 37 degrees Celsius whereas coagulase expression predominates at lower temperatures (<30 degrees Celsius). Activates plasminogen by cleaving it.

Belongs to the peptidase A26 family.
