Reactivity of a hereditary abnormal antithrombin III fraction in the inhibition of thrombin and factor Xa. 1980

T H Tran, and C Bondeli, and G A Marbet, and F Duckert

Two different AT-III fractions were purified from the plasma of a patient with recurrent superficial thrombophlebitis. The abnormal AT-III fraction (A-AT) was compared to the normal AT-III fraction (N-AT) in the inhibition of thrombin and factor Xa. Without heparin, both inactivate proteases in a similar manner and at the same rate. However, at low heparin concentration the thrombin inhibition proceeds more slowly with A-AT than with N-AT. At high heparin concentration the difference between A-AT and N-AT becomes very small. The inhibition of factor Xa follows a similar pattern. It is suggested that the heparin binding site of A-AT differs from that of N-AT resulting in a decreased heparin cofactor activity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D005170 Factor X Storage-stable glycoprotein blood coagulation factor that can be activated to factor Xa by both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. A deficiency of factor X, sometimes called Stuart-Prower factor deficiency, may lead to a systemic coagulation disorder. Autoprothrombin III,Coagulation Factor X,Stuart Factor,Stuart-Prower Factor,Blood Coagulation Factor X,Factor 10,Factor Ten,Stuart Prower Factor,Factor X, Coagulation
D006493 Heparin A highly acidic mucopolysaccharide formed of equal parts of sulfated D-glucosamine and D-glucuronic acid with sulfaminic bridges. The molecular weight ranges from six to twenty thousand. Heparin occurs in and is obtained from liver, lung, mast cells, etc., of vertebrates. Its function is unknown, but it is used to prevent blood clotting in vivo and vitro, in the form of many different salts.

D000990 Antithrombin III A plasma alpha 2 glycoprotein that accounts for the major antithrombin activity of normal plasma and also inhibits several other enzymes. It is a member of the serpin superfamily.
