Abstract excerpt
The serpin, C1-inhibitor (also known as SERPING1), plays a vital anti-inflammatory role in the body by controlling pro-inflammatory pathways such as complement and coagulation. The inhibitor's action is enhanced in the presence of polyanionic cofactors, such as heparin and polyphosphate, by increasing the rate of association with key enzymes such as C1s of the classical pathway of complement. The cofactor binding...
