Translation of human tissue factor pathway inhibitor-ß mRNA is controlled by alternative splicing within the 5' untranslated region

OBJECTIVE - Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) blocks the initiation of coagulation by inhibiting TF-activated factor VII, activated factor X, and early prothrombinase. Humans produce two 3' splice variants, TFPIa and TFPIß, which are differentially expressed in endothelial cells and platel...
