antithrombin-III (ATIII, heparin cofactor, SERPINC1, AT3, PRO0309)

Function: - most important serine protease inhibitor in plasma - regulates the blood coagulation cascade - inhibits thrombin, factors IXa, Xa & XIa - inhibitory activity is greatly enhanced in the presence of heparin (heparin cofactor) - anti-inflammatory properties [2] Structure: belongs to the serpin family Compartment: secreted, extracellular space Expression: found in plasma Pathology: - defects in SERPINC1 are the cause of - antithrombin III deficiency - plasma activity may be reduced as a result of acute thrombosis - anticoagulation does NOT lower activity of antithrombin III in plasma Pharmacology: see recombinant antithrombin-III
