The metabolism of human plasminogen labeled with radioactive iodine was studied in 12 healthy men. The labeled plasminogen had a high specific activity and the same elution on Sephadex G-100 as the plasminogen activity in plasma. Immunoelectrophoresis revealed a single precipitin line. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed six main bands, all with plasminogen properties and radioactivity. The purified plasminogen behaved as a homogeneous protein in the turnover experiments. The plasma radioactivity data were adequately approximated by a sum of two exponential terms. The metabolism of plasminogen was therefore represented by a two-compartment mammillary model.
