  4. 4. Structure-function studies of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1

    Author : Guang-Chao Sui; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : PAI-1; site-directed mutagenesis; structure and function; stability;

    Abstract : Plasminogen activator inhibitor-I (PAI-1) is an important physiological inhibitor of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and urine-type plasminogen activator (uPA). High plasma levels of PAI-1 correlate to thrombotic disease, and low levels can be connected to a bleeding tendency. READ MORE
