Factor VII activating protease.
Factor VII activating protease (FSAP) is a circulating serine protease with high homology to fibrinolytic enzymes. A role in the regulation of coagulation and fibrinolysis is suspected based on in vitro studies demonstrating activation of FVII or pro-urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA). However, considering the paucity of any studies in animal models or any correlative studies in humans the r...
متن کاملApoptotic protease-activating factor 1 (Apaf-1) as a liable gene for spontaneous mutations in vitro
The apoptotic protease-activating factor 1 (Apaf-1) receives the death signal in the intrinsic ormitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. Upon the releasing of cytochrome c from theintermembrane space of mitochondria and binding to Apaf-1 molecules, a heptamericapoptosome complex is formed and triggers the downstream cascade of caspases. Here, for thefirst time we present spontaneous mutations and r...
متن کاملFactor VII activating protease (FSAP): a novel protease in hemostasis.
Recently a novel serine protease in human plasma was described and was named PHBP, PHBSP or factor seven activating protease (FSAP), respectively, the latter according to the finding that it can support coagulation by factor VII activation. Later on FSAP was identified as a potent activator of single chain plasminogen activators, in particular of prourokinase, as well. The physiological role of...
متن کاملMicrosciadin, a New Milk-Clotting Cysteine Protease from an Endemic Species, Euphorbia microsciadia
In the present work, a new branch of biotechnological advantage of the latex of an endemic perennial plant, Euphorbia microsciadia has been introduced. A novel cysteine protease, designated as microsciadin, was purified from the latex of Euphorbia microsciadia by a combination of sequential usage of SP-Sepharose Fast Flow column in two different pHs and a final gel filtration ...
متن کاملFactor VII-activating protease promotes the proteolysis and inhibition of tissue factor pathway inhibitor.
OBJECTIVE Factor VII-activating protease (FSAP) activates both factor VII and pro-urokinase and inhibits platelet-derived growth factor-BB, thus regulating hemostasis- and remodeling-associated processes in the vasculature. A genetic variant of FSAP (Marburg I polymorphism) results in low enzymatic activity and is associated with an enhanced risk of carotid stenosis and stroke. We postulate tha...
