Fibrinogen–Fibrin System Regulators from Bloodsuckers

Biochemistry (Moscow) volume 67, pages 135–142 (2002)Cite this article

Abstract

Thrombin inhibitors from bloodsucking leeches and insects that block conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin are considered. Regulatory mechanisms influencing the fibrinogen–fibrin system in leeches include fibrinogen degradation, inhibition of factor XIIIa, and lysis of fibrin clots. The review also summarizes recent data on plasminogen activator from the vampire bat Desmodus rotundus and a role of fibrin as its cofactor.
