Abstract excerpt
Besides its critical role in hemostasis, the serine protease thrombin also participates in wound healing, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. Thrombin is inhibited by the serpins antithrombin and heparin cofactor II (HCiI) in reactions that are accelerated markedly by specific glycosaminoglycans. Following vascular injury, thrombin must be inhibited at both intravascular and extravascular sites that impose...
