Human plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 complex with inhibitor (PDB entry 4aqh) Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image Function Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) is a serine protease inhibitor. PAI-1 inhibits tissue plasminogen activator and urokinase[1]. PAI-2 is secreted by the placenta and is present during pregnancy[2]. PAI-3 or protein C inhibitor inhibits enzymes in blood coagulation[3]. Relevance Inhibitors of PAI-1 are tested as therapeutical strategy against renal and cardiovascular diseases[4]. Structural highlights A [5]. Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
