Human TFPI2 ELISA Kit PicoKine®

TFPI2, also called Tissue factor pathway inhibitor 2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TFPI2 gene. It is mapped to 7q21.3. This gene encodes a member of the Kunitz-type serine proteinase inhibitor family. The protein can inhibit a variety of serine proteases including factor VIIa/tissue factor, factor Xa, plasmin, trypsin, chymotryspin and plasma kallikrein. This gene has been identified as a tumor suppressor gene in several types of cancer. Qualitative PCR and microarray analyses showed that expression of TFPI2 was inversely correlated with that of MIR616 in prostate cancer cell lines, primary tumors of various grades, and normal tissue.

May play a role in the regulation of plasmin-mediated matrix remodeling. Inhibits trypsin, plasmin, factor VIIa/tissue factor and weakly factor Xa. Has no effect on thrombin. .
