The blood plasma serine proteinase inhibitors (serpins) are glycoproteins whose activities are involved in many important homeostatic reactions. The heparin-dependent plasma serpins, antithrombin, heparin cofactor II and protein C inhibitor, regulate the proteinases of blood coagulation. Heparin and some other glycosaminoglycans increase the rate of proteinase inhibition by these three plasma serpins. Proteinases recognize a specific peptide, termed the reactive site, near the carboxyl-terminus of serpins (for antithrombin and protein C inhibitor this is Arg-Ser and for heparin cofactor II this is Leu-Ser). Additionally, these three serpins contain unique structural elements that confer glycosaminoglycan binding activities. The therapeutic anticoagulant action of the glycosaminoglycan heparin is believed to depend partially on heparin-accelerated inhibition of proteinases by antithrombin. The physiological importance of specific proteogly-cans has been attributed to their recognition of these serpins and their biological'activation'of these proteinase inhibitors.
