Abstract excerpt
Heparin cofactor II (HCII) is presumed to be a physiological inhibitor of the serine proteinase thrombin. The reaction between HCII and thrombin is quite unique, because it involves an unusual HCII-reactive site loop sequence of Leu444-Ser445, requires the presence of glycosaminoglycans for optim...
