Abstract excerpt
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a Kunitz-type serine proteinase inhibitor that down-regulates tissue factor-initiated blood coagulation. The most biologically active pool of TFPI is associated with the vascular endothelium, however, the biochemical mechanisms responsible for its cellular binding are not entirely defined. Proposed cellular binding sites for TFPI include nonspecific association with cell...
