Anticoagulant proteins

Anticoagulant proteins are natural substances in the blood that help regulate clot formation, preventing excessive clotting that could block blood flow. They work by inhibiting certain enzymes and factors involved in the clotting process, maintaining a balance between bleeding and clotting. Examples include proteins like antithrombin III and proteins C and S. These proteins are essential for preventing abnormal blood clots, which can lead to conditions like deep vein thrombosis or strokes, ensuring blood flows smoothly through the body’s vessels.
