Human Active PAI1 ELISA Kit

Kits

Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1 (PAI1) is the principal inhibitor of Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA) and Urokinase (uPA), the activators of Plasminogen and hence fibrinolysis. It is a serine protease inhibitor (serpin) protein (SERPINE1). PAI1 is mainly produced by the endothelium, but is also secreted by other tissue types, such as adipose tissue. PAI1 is involved in the regulation of the blood fibrinolytic system. Increased plasma levels of PAI1 are implicated in the impairment of fibrinolytic function and may be associated with thrombotic diseases. Levels of PAI1 increase with age and are elevated in conditions such as normal pregnancy and sepsis.
