WK13: Inhibitors of Coagulation Flashcards
Function to counterbalance the effects of coagulation factors, provide limitations for the forming fibrin clot, and prevent systemic thrombus formation
Natural Inhibitors of Coagulation
What are the three major coagulation inhibitor pathways?
Protein C & S
Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor
Antithrombin III
Forms fibrin clot and activates protein C
Thrombin
When protein C is activated it inhibits factors ______
V
VII
Enhances the inhibition of factor V and VII
Protein S
Deficient or defective protein C or S results in ________
hypercoagulability
erformed if a clinician suspects that a hypercoagulable state secondary to protein C or S deficiency is present
Protein C and S assays
genetic condition in which factor V is resistant to the actions of protein C, resulting in a hypercoagulable state
Factor V Leiden
ctivates the extrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade
tissue factor (factor III)
inhibit the activation of the extrinsic pathway
TFPI
principal inhibitor of thrombin and factor Xa
Antithrombin III
Antithrombin III has limited inhibitory activity against factors _______
IXa
XIa
XIIa
serves as a cofactor in the inactivation, thereby increasing the reaction rate by more than 2,000 times
Heparin
Minor inhibitor of thrombin
α2-macroglobulin
Minor inhibitor of factors XIa and XIIa
Complement C1 inhibitor
Has limited inhibition of thrombin, kallikrein, and factor XIa
α1-antitrypsin
Vitamin K-dependent inhibitor that circulates as an inactive zymogen
protein C
PC is activated by ______ as part of the thrombomodulin platelet receptor complex
thrombin
PC inactivates factors VIII: C and Va in the presence of cofactor _________
Protein S
Principal inhibitor of coagulation
Antithrombin (AT)
AT inhibits ________
serine proteases
Therapeutic heparin enhances the action of
antithrombin.
Antithrombin (AT)
Vitamin K-dependent regulatory proteins
Proteins C and S
Proteins C and S Activated when thrombin binds to __________
on the endothelial cell surface
thrombomodulin
