The discovery of urokinase (UK) is described in chap. 4. The UK in urine is not a waste product as shown by studies of the fate of intravenous injections of UK, which was found not to be excreted by the kidney (Fletcher et al. 1965). Instead, it is secreted by renal tubular cells (Sappino et al. 1991) where it helps prevent obstruction of the tubules by fibrin and other proteinaceous deposits, as first proposed by Astrup and Sterndorff (1952). Kidney cells in culture are another current source of UK and Barlow and Lazer (1972) showed that UK from this source was identical to that purified from urine.
