Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is an anticoagulant which modulates the tissue factor (TF) dependent pathway, acting on the factor VIIa/TF complex, factor Xa, and thrombin. Although most TFPI is found in association with plasma lipoproteins and platelets, the functional pool is bound to vascular endothelium and is released into the circulation on stimulation with heparin or low molecular weight heparin (LMWH).
