Alpha 2-antiplasmin deficiency in a Sudanese child: a case report [PDF]
Background The plasma serine protease inhibitor alpha 2-antiplasmin (α2-AP, otherwise known as α2-plasmin inhibitor) is a rapid-acting plasmin inhibitor recently found in human plasma, which seems to have a significant role in the regulation of in vivo ...

Generation and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against the N-terminus of alpha-2-antiplasmin. [PDF]
Around 70% of circulating alpha-2-antiplasmin (α2AP), the main natural plasmin inhibitor, is N-terminally cleaved between residues Pro12 and Asn13 by antiplasmin-cleaving enzyme.

Acquired alpha‐2‐antiplasmin deficiency in acute promyelocytic leukaemia
We report a prospective study in nine consecutive adult patients with acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL). The study objective was to assess the prevalence of activation of blood coagulation and/or activation of fibrinolysis in APL.

Increased N‐terminal cleavage of alpha‐2‐antiplasmin in patients with liver cirrhosis [PDF]
Background The activity of alpha-2-antiplasmin (2AP), the main fibrinolytic inhibitor, is modified by N- and C-terminal proteolytic cleavages. C-terminal cleavage converts plasminogen-binding 2AP (PB-2AP) into a non-plasminogen-binding derivative.

Evaluation of Fibrinolytic Inhibitors: Alpha-2-Antiplasmin and Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1 in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. [PDF]
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) induces thrombophilia and reduces fibrinolysis. Alpha-2-antiplasmin (a-2-AP) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) are major inhibitors of the fibrinolytic system.

Enhanced thrombin and plasmin generation profiles in alpha-2-antiplasmin–deficient patients: Data from the Rare Bleeding disorders in the Netherlands study [PDF]
Background: α2-Antiplasmin (A2AP) deficiency is a rare and often unidentified disorder characterized by increased fibrinolysis and subsequent bleeding. Global hemostasis assays may increase insight into the altered coagulation and fibrinolysis in these ...
