Protein Z enhances the inhibition of factor Xa by protein Z-dependent protease inhibitor (ZPI). Thus, diminution of protein Z should induce prothrombotic tendency due to lowered collactor activity for ZPI. In Factor V Leiden mice, prothrombotic tendency of severe diminution or lack of protein Z was demonstrated. We here present first studies in humans, indicating that diminution of protein Z in factor V Leiden patients aggravates thromboembolic risk. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
