Abstract excerpt
Inhibition of thrombin by endogenous inhibitors plays a central role in the spatiotemporal control of clot formation. A failure to adequately inactivate thrombin such as in antithrombin deficiency generates a strong prothrombotic phenotype. To study if and to what extent delayed thrombin inactivation rates beyond antithrombin deficiency contribute to the prothrombotic phenotype we measured thrombin inhibition...
