Antithrombin is an important inhibitor of coagulation system. Antithrombin inhibits thrombin by interacting with heparin-like substrate on endothelial cells. In addition to regulate coagulation abnormalities, antithrombin regulates inflammatory reaction by increasing prostacyclin production from endothelial cells.
