| Retavase® (Reteplase) is a non-glycosylated deletion mutein of tissue [[plasminogen activator]] (tPA), containing the kringle 2 and the protease domains of human tPA. Retavase® contains 355 of the 527 amino acids of native tPA (amino acids 1-3 and 176-527). Retavase® is produced by recombinant DNA technology in[[ E. coli]]. The protein is isolated as inactive inclusion bodies from [[E. coli]], converted into its active form by an in vitro folding process and purified by chromatographic separation. The molecular weight of Reteplase is 39,571 daltons.

| Retavase® is a sterile, white, lyophilized powder for intravenous bolus injection after reconstitution with Sterile Water for Injection, USP (without preservatives). Following reconstitution, the pH is 6.0 ± 0.3. Retavase® is supplied as a 10.4 unit vial to ensure sufficient drug for administration of each 10 unit injection.
