Negatively charged phospholipids stimulate factor XI activation by thrombin

Introduction: Coagulation factor XI (FXI) is the zymogen of the serine-protease FXIa, which contributes to thrombin formation by activating factor IX. FXI can be activated by factor XIIa or thrombin, but thrombin-catalysed FXI activation is highly inefficient, unless stimulated by polyanions such as...
