(5) Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), the primary physiological inhibitor of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) in plasma, is a serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) that forms a 1:1 stoichiometric complex with its target proteinase leading to the formation of a stable inactive complex.
(6) Androgen receptor gene mutations were identified in nine CAIS and five PAIS subjects.
(7) Plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-I) rapidly inactivates tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and urokinase (UK) with nearly identical association rate constants.
