Tissue factor pathway inhibitor: structure, biology and involvement in disease.
Tissue factor (TF)-initiated coagulation plays a significant role in the pathophysiology of many diseases, including cancer and inflammation. Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a plasma Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor, which modulates initiations of coagulation induced by TF. In a factor (F) Xa-dependent feedback system, TFPI binds directly and inhibits the TF-FVII/FVIIa complex. N...
متن کاملTissue Factor and Cardiovascular Disease:
Under physiological conditions, the coagulation system is designed to maintain the circulating blood in a fluid state, but act towards restoration of vascular integrity by rapid clot formation after vessel injury. Historically, the coagulation cascade was divided into 2 major systems: the extrinsic and the intrinsic pathway (Figure 1).1 The tissue factor (TF)factor VII/VIIa (FVII/FVIIa) complex...
متن کاملTissue factor pathway inhibitor: structure-function.
TFPI is a multivalent, Kunitz-type proteinase inhibitor, which, due to alternative mRNA splicing, is transcribed in three isoforms: TFPIalpha, TFPIdelta, and glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol (GPI)-anchored TFPIbeta. The microvascular endothelium is thought to be the principal source of TFPI and TFPIalpha is the predominant isoform expressed in humans. TFPIalpha, apparently attached to the surface...
متن کاملBiology of tissue factor pathway inhibitor.
Recent studies of the anticoagulant activities of the tissue factor (TF) pathway inhibitor (TFPI) isoforms, TFPIα and TFPIβ, have provided new insight into the biochemical and physiological mechanisms that underlie bleeding and clotting disorders. TFPIα and TFPIβ have tissue-specific expression patterns and anticoagulant activities. An alternative splicing event in the 5' untranslated region al...
متن کاملProtein S stimulates inhibition of the tissue factor pathway by tissue factor pathway inhibitor.
Tissue factor (TF) plays an important role in hemostasis, inflammation, angiogenesis, and the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and cancer. In this article we uncover a mechanism in which protein S, which is well known as the cofactor of activated protein C, specifically inhibits TF activity by promoting the interaction between full-length TF pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and factor Xa (FXa). The s...
