Preferred Term:

antithrombin proteins

Definition:
An endogenous family of proteins belonging to the serpin superfamily that neutralizes the action of thrombin. Six naturally occurring antithrombins have been identified and are designated by Roman numerals I to VI. Of these, antithrombin I (see fibrin) and antithrombin III appear to be of major importance.
