Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI)

Target
TFPI
Molecular classification
Protease Inhibitor, Kunitz-type protease inhibitor
01

Overview

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a key endogenous anticoagulant protein that regulates the initiation of blood coagulation. It acts as the primary inhibitor of the tissue factor (TF)-induced coagulation pathway, thereby modulating both bleeding and clotting disorders. TFPI contains three Kunitz-type protease inhibitor domains. It inhibits early steps in blood coagulation by blocking two key procoagulant complexes, directly inhibiting FXa and inhibiting the FVIIa–tissue factor complex.

02

Mechanism of action

Direct inhibition of FXa via Kunitz domain 2; inhibition of FVIIa-tissue factor complex via Kunitz domain 1 upon binding to FXa.
