The Role of Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor-2 in Cancer Biology
1 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 (TFPI-2), a member of the Kunitz-type serine proteinase inhibitor family, is a structural homologue of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI). The expression of TFPI-2 in tumors is inversely related to an increasing degree of malignancy, which may suggest a role for TFPI-2 in the maintenance of tumor stability and inhibition of the growth of neoplasms. TFPI-2 inhibits the tissue...
