Activation of plasminogen through surface-mediated reactions is well recognized. In the presence of kaolin, purified [human] Hageman factor (factor XII) changed plasminogen to plasmin, as assayed upon a synthetic amide substrate and by fibrinolysis. Kinetic studies suggested an enzymatic action of Hageman factor upon its substrate, plasminogen. Hageman factor fragments, at a protein concentration equivalent to whole Hageman factor activated plasminogen to a lesser extent. These protein preparations were not contaminated with other agents implicated in surface-mediated fibrinolysis. DFP treatment of plasminogen did not inhibit its activation by Hageman factor. Hageman factor apparently has a hitherto unsuspected function, the direct activation of plasminogen.
