Abstract
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is an important regulator of blood coagulation. It was described as antyconwertin (AC), extrinsic pathway inhibitor (EPI) and lipoprotein-associated coagulation inhibitor (LACI). TFPI is a glycoprotein, which is mainly synthesized by vascular endothelial cells. The concentration of this enzyme in plasma is low (100 ng/ml). TFPI inhibits activity of factor Xa and complex FVIIa/TF. Changes TFPI activity play an important role in coagulation disorders and presently the function of TFPI in various kinds of diseases is discussed.
