Abstract:
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2(TFPI-2) is a matrix-associated Kunitz-type serine proteinase inhibitor,and is considered to play an important role in some pathophysiological processes,including artherosclerosis,tumor metastasis and angiogenesis.Extracellular signals can regulate TFPI-2 gene expression through modulating promoter or signaling pathway or other factors.The mechanism,more over,has become one of the focus in recent years.
