Tissue 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...
متن کاملCaveolae optimize tissue factor-Factor VIIa inhibitory activity of cell-surface-associated tissue factor pathway inhibitor.
TFPI (tissue factor pathway inhibitor) is an anticoagulant protein that prevents intravascular coagulation through inhibition of fXa (Factor Xa) and the TF (tissue factor)-fVIIa (Factor VIIa) complex. Localization of TFPI within caveolae enhances its anticoagulant activity. To define further how caveolae contribute to TFPI anticoagulant activity, CHO (Chinese-hamster ovary) cells were co-transf...
متن کاملEnhancement of lipoprotein lipase activity by tissue factor pathway inhibitor.
The effect of a basic synthetic peptide, representing the C-terminal region of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI - Lys254 - Met276), as well as that of the whole protein, on the activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is described. The activity of bovine LPL was measured by chromogenic assay using a water-soluble chromogenic substrate, p-nitrophenyl butyrate. Five and 10 microM concentrations ...
