Outline of the antithrombotic and prothrombotic properties of ECs detailing the binding sites expressed by ECs, the factors stored and/or secreted by ECs that affect platelet function, factors produced by the EC that influence the fibrinolytic state of the vasculature, and vasomotor substances secreted by the EC.

Abbreviations: ATIII, antithrombin III; PGI2, prostacyclin; TFPI, tissue factor pathway inhibitor; APC, activated protein C; PAF, platelet-activating factor; t-PA, tissue plasminogen activator; u-PA, urokinase plasminogen activator; u-PAR, urokinase plasminogen activator receptor; PAI, plasminogen activator inhibitor; TAFI, thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor; TxA2, thromboxane A2.
