Background
Antithrombin III, is a 432 amino acid glycoprotein. It contains three disulfide bonds and a total of four possible glycosylation sites. Antithrombin III plays an important role in inactivating several enzymes of the coagulation system, such as thrombin, factor Xa. Thrombin-antithrombin (TAT) complexes formed following the neutralization of thrombin by antithrombin III (AT III) are a useful marker to predict morphological changes in chronic aortic dissection. High plasma levels of TAT complexes may lead to alter hemostatic activation in argentine hemorrhagic fever, chronic dialysis patients, and toxemia of pregnancy. Low plasma levels of TAT complexes have been observed in type 1 diabetes, neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and primary untreated cancer.
