Antithrombin-Ⅲ

In the human body, the function of the blood coagulation system is antagonized by the anticoagulation system. Under normal circumstances, the two maintain a dynamic balance, thereby maintaining the normal flow of blood in the blood vessels. Antithrombin III is the most important component of the anticoagulation system. It is synthesized by the liver and is a multifunctional serine protease inhibitor that can inhibit thrombin production and has strong anticoagulant activity. It accounts for plasma anticoagulant activity 70%.
