... stimulator of thrombin inhibition by these serpins, in line with the cofactor effect of TM on protein C activation. The exclusive function of the VR1 loop is now further supported by the results ... addition, the reduced affinity of TM for thrombin-VR1 tPA is in agreement with the significant contribution of this part of the VR1 loop to the binding of TM by thrombin. Binding of the carboxy-terminal ... can explain part of the effect of thrombin on the proliferation and migration of vascular SMC [4,34]. In the context of the vessel wall, TM might therefore function as a regulator of PAI-1 inactivation...
