'''Thrombomodulin''', [[Cluster of differentiation|CD]]141 or BDCA-3 is an [[integral membrane protein]] expressed on the surface of endothelial cells.
== Function ==


The protein has a molecular mass of 74k[[Dalton_(unit)|Da]], and consists of a single chain with 5 distinct domains.
Thrombomodulin functions as a [[Cofactor (biochemistry)|cofactor]] in the [[thrombin]]-induced activation of [[protein C]] in the [[anticoagulant]] pathway by forming a 1:1 stoichiometric complex with thrombin. This raises the speed of protein C activation thousandfold. Thrombomodulin-bound thrombin has procoagulant effect at the same time by inhibiting fibrinolysis by cleaving [[Carboxypeptidase B2|thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor]] (TAFI, aka carboxypeptidase B2) into its active form.{{citation needed|date=February 2015}}


It functions as a cofactor in the [[thrombin]]-induced activation of [[protein C]] in the [[anticoagulant]] pathway by forming a 1:1 stochiometric complex with thrombin. This raises the speed of protein C activation thousandfold. Thrombomodulin-bound thrombin has no procoagulant effect. The TT-complex also stimulates fibrinolysis by cleaving [[thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor]] (TAFI) into its active form.
Thrombomodulin is a glycoprotein on the surface of endothelial cells that, in addition to binding thrombin, regulates C3b inactivation by factor I. Mutations in the thrombomodulin gene (THBD) have also been reported to be associated with atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS).{{citation needed|date=February 2015}}

Thrombomodulin (TM), CD141 or BDCA-3 is an integral membrane protein expressed on the surface of endothelial cells and serves as a cofactor for thrombin. It reduces blood coagulation by converting thrombin to an anticoagulant enzyme from a procoagulant enzyme.[1] Thrombomodulin is also expressed on human mesothelial cell,[2] monocyte and a dendritic cell subset.

Genetics and Structure

In humans, thrombomodulin is encoded by the THBD gene.[3] The protein has a molecular mass of 74kDa, and consists of a single chain with six tandemly repeated EGF-like domains, a Serine/Threonine-rich spacer and a transmembrane domain.[4]

Function

Thrombomodulin functions as a cofactor in the thrombin-induced activation of protein C in the anticoagulant pathway by forming a 1:1 stoichiometric complex with thrombin. This raises the speed of protein C activation thousandfold. Thrombomodulin-bound thrombin has procoagulant effect at the same time by inhibiting fibrinolysis by cleaving thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI, aka carboxypeptidase B2) into its active form.[citation needed]

Thrombomodulin is a glycoprotein on the surface of endothelial cells that, in addition to binding thrombin, regulates C3b inactivation by factor I. Mutations in the thrombomodulin gene (THBD) have also been reported to be associated with atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS).[citation needed]

The antigen described as BDCA-3[5] has turned out to be identical to thrombomodulin.[6] Thus, it was revealed that this molecule also occurs on a very rare (0.02%) subset of human dendritic cells called MDC2. Its function on these cells is unknown.[citation needed]

Interactions

Thrombomodulin has been shown to interact with thrombin.[7][8]
