Abstract: INTRODUCTION Circulating fibroblast activation protein (cFAP) cleaves alpha-2-antiplasmin (α2AP) N-terminally, converting native Met-α2AP into Asn-α2AP. Previous studies in purified model systems showed that Asn-α2AP is faster incorporated into a fibrin clot by activated factor XIII… read more here.
