Molecular genetics of antithrombin deficiency.

Abstract excerpt

Antithrombin is the major proteinase inhibitor of thrombin and other blood coagulation proteinases. Antithrombin has two functional domains, a heparin binding site and a reactive centre (that complexes and inactivates the proteinase). Its deficiency results in an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. Appreciable progress has been made in recent years in understanding the structure and function of this...
