Abstract excerpt
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a multivalent Kunitz-type serine proteinase inhibitor that plays a central role in the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. In earlier studies we could identify the [P151L]TFPI mutant, and we could also demonstrate that heterozygous carriers of this mutant show a nine-fold increased risk for deep venous thrombosis (DVT). To express greater amounts of both proteins and...
