Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Factor V (FV) is proteolytically activated to FVa, which assembles with FXa in the prothrombinase complex. The C-terminus of tissue factor pathway inhibitor-α (TFPIα) inhibits both the activation and the prothrombinase activity of FV(a), but the pathophysiological relevance of this anticoagulant mechanism is unknown. FV Leiden (FVL) is less susceptible to inhibition by TFPIα, while overexpression of...
