Q

how does kallekrein activate plasminongen?

A

converts urokinase to a more active form;
releases bradykinin from HK which stimulates release of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)

Q

what effect does lipoprotein a have on plasminogen?

A

It is similar in structure to plasminogen and competes w/ plasmin for biding fibrin
It also inhibits activation of plasminogen by tPA and uPA

Q

how do exogenous activators affect plasminogen?

A

they assume enzymatic activity when bound to plasminogen
Streptokinase has no preference for bound plasminogen
Stapylokinase has a preference for bound plasminogen

22
Q

TAFI

A

thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor

23
Q

TAFI is activated by what?

A

thrombin-thrombomodulin complex

24
Q

How does TAFI inhibit plasminogen?

A

removes lysine and arinine residues from fibrin eliminating binding sites for plasminogen

25
Q

AP

A

alpha 2 antiplasmin

26
Q

how does Alpha 2 antiplasmin inhibit plasminogen?

A

crosslinks fibrin by f13a which increases resistance of fibrin to action of plasmin
binds circulating unbound plasmin inhibiting it

27
Q

how does alpha 2 macroglobulin function as an inhibitor?

A

it neutralizes plasmin if AP cannot neutralize all the plasmin present

28
Q

FDP

A

fibrin degradation products
fragments x, y, d, e

29
Q

fragment x

A

competes with fibrinogen for thrombin===less fibrin is formed

30
Q

fragment y & d

A

interferes with polymerization of fibrin monomers

31
Q

fragment e

A

inhibits thrombin

32
Q

FSP inhibits

A

platelet aggregation

33
Q

plasmin degrades what factors?

A

5, 8, 12

34
Q

liver function

A

produces most coagulation factors, activators, and inhibitors
removes activated coagulation factors, plasmin, and FSP

35
Q

Positive feedback

A

thrombin activates plts
thrombin activates factors 5, 8
f10a activates f7, 8

36
Q

negative feedback

A

thrombin inactivates factors 5, 8, 10a (thru TF pathway inhibitor), &7
fibrin slows thrombin release
FDP interferes w/ fibrin monomer polymerization

37
Q

biochemical inhibitors

A

soluble naturally occurring proteins that inhibit enzymes by forming a complex at active site

38
Q

AT

A

antithrombin
prod. by liver, endothelial cells, megakaryocytes

39
Q

what does Anti Thrombin inhibit?

A

all serine proteases:
thrombin, 12a, 11a, 9a, 10a, kallekrein, & plasmin by forming a 1:1 complex
