Abstract excerpt
The extrinsic coagulation pathway is initiated by the binding of plasma factor VII(a) (VIIa) to the cell surface receptor tissue factor (TF), which serves as the cofactor for the ligand protease VIIa in the activation of macromolecular substrate factors X and IX. The catalytic function of the TF.VIIa complex is regulated by a specific Kunitz-type inhibitor, tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), which forms a...
