Abstract excerpt
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2 (TFPI-2) is a Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor with homology to TFPI-1, an important regulator of the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. Recent studies have focused on TFPI-2 and its implications for atherosclerosis. The promoter region and the exons of the human TFPI-2 gene were screened for sequence variations in 41 apoplectic patients and 140 blood donors with no...
