Protease nexin-I variants

摘要

One or more amino acid residues within the reactive site region of protease nexin-I are altered in order to create analogs or variants of protease nexin-I. These analogs have substantially different protease specificities as well as different effects on regulating the activity of proteolytic enzymes which enzymes have substantial effects on a number of different physiological functions. Formulations containing the protease nexin-I variants and methods for administering these formulations to obtain desirable therapeutic results are disclosed.
