Mouse Thrombomodulin, TM ELI

Thrombomodulin is a specific endothelial cell receptor that forms a 1:1 stoichiometric complex with thrombin.

This complex is responsible for the conversion of protein C to the activated protein C (protein Ca).

Once evolved, protein Ca scissions the activated cofactors of the coagulation mechanism, factor Va and factor VIIIa, and thereby reduces the amount of thrombin generated.
