'''Antithrombin''' (AT) inactivates several enzymes of the coagulation cycle. α-AT contains 4 occupied glycosylation sites and is found in blood palsma. β-AT contains only 3 occupied glycosylation sites. AT-I refers to the absorption of thrombin to fibrin; AT-II and heparin interfere with the interaction of thrombin and fibrinogen; AT-III inactivates thrombin in plasma; AT-IV becomes activated during blood coagulation. See details for the antithrombin pentasaccharide complex in [[Molecular Playground/Antithrombin-Heparin]]. | '''Antithrombin''' (AT) inactivates several enzymes of the coagulation cycle. α-AT contains 4 occupied glycosylation sites and is found in blood palsma. β-AT contains only 3 occupied glycosylation sites.
