Description |
Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), also known as Serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade E (SERPINE1), is a member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) superfamily. It is the principal inhibitor of Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA) and Urokinase (uPA), the activators of Plasminogen and hence fibrinolysis. PAI-1 is mainly produced by the endothelium, but is also secreted by other tissue types, such as adipose tissue. Defects in the PAI-1 gene are the cause of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 deficiency (PAI-1 deficiency), and high concentrations of the protein are associated with thrombophilia. The Recombinant Human Serpin E1/PAI-1 Stable Vitronectin Reduced-Binding Point Mutant is produced by the mutagenesis of the Q123K residue on the Human Serpin E1/PAI-1 stable mutant background (K154T, Q319L, M354I and N150H) resulting in a PAI-1 with greatly extended half life and reduced binding to the vitronectin ligand. |
