Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a factor Xa dependent inhibitor of tissue factor initiated blood coagulation. In recent years several alternatively spliced forms of TFPI have been identified. These alternatively spliced forms have different C-terminal regions and have different mechanisms for association with cell surfaces. They are differentially expressed in human and mouse tissues and may have distinct physiological functions.
组织因子途径抑制物(TFPI)是一种依赖于因子Xa的组织因子启动的血液凝固抑制物。近年来,已鉴定出TFPI的几种可变剪接形式。这些可变剪接形式具有不同的C末端区域,并且与细胞表面结合的机制也不同。它们在人和小鼠组织中差异表达,可能具有不同的生理功能。
