GlossaryPlasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1

regulates blood clot breakdown by inhibiting plasminogen conversion enzymes

Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is a protein that regulates the breakdown of blood clots by inhibiting enzymes that convert plasminogen to plasmin, which is responsible for clot degradation. Elevated levels of PAI-1 are associated with an increased risk of thrombosis and various cardiovascular diseases, as it can lead to excessive clot formation.
