TFPI contains three Kunitz domains. The Kunitz domain is disulfide-rich and is arranged to form a twisted two-stranded antiparallel β sheet followed by an α helix. Kunitz I and II domains inhibit VIIa coagulation factor while Kunitz II domain inhibits Xa. Kunitz III domains probably involved in the interactions with lipoproteins. Relevance The expression of hTFPI-2 in tumors is inversely related to their malignancy. TFPI inhibitors are investigated as therapeutic agents agains hemophilia. Structural highlights In the complex of TFPI-2 and trypsin, hydrophobic residues of TFPI-2 interact with hydrophobic patch of trypsin. An Arg residue which is the P1 residue of TFPI-2 interacts with Asp - the S1 residue of trypsin. Ca coordination site. Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
