Abstract excerpt
FSAP is a plasma serine protease for which a potential role in the regulation of coagulation and fibrinolysis is postulated, based on its property to activate factor VII (FVII) as well as pro-urokinase (uPA). In clinical studies, the G534E single nucleotide polymorphism (Marburg I) of FSAP has been linked to late complications of atherothrombosis and is associated with a low proteolytic activity, particularly,...
