A human prourokinase mutant in which the entire or a partial epidermal growth factor domain of human prourokinase is deleted or a partial epidermal growth factor domain of human prourokinase is replaced by one or more different amino acid residues, said mutant having a longer blood half-life than naturally occurring human prourokinase while retaining prourokinase enzymatic activity. In this human prourokinase mutant the region selected from the group consisting of: (a) from asparagine (10) to cysteine (42); (b) from asparagine (10) to aspartic acid (45); and (c) from asparagine (10) to threonine (49) is missing.
