Abstract excerpt
Plasminogen activator inhibitor type 2 (PAI-2) prevents fibrinolysis by blocking plasminogen activators. It is expressed principally by trophoblast cells and macrophages. PAI-2 in trophoblast membranes has been found cross-linked to large complexes apparently catalyzed by trophoblast transglutaminase (Jensen, P. H., Lorand, L., Ebbesen, P., and Gliemann, J. (1993) Eur. J. Biochem. 214, 141-146). Recombinant human...
