Thrombomodulin

Thrombomodulin is a glycoprotein located on the surface of endothelial cells. When binding to thrombin it changes the specifity of the protease towards activiting of anticoagulants such as protein C. Mutations of the gene heve been seen in thrombophilia and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome.
