Thrombomodulin (TM),

mesothelial cell,[6] monocyte and a dendritic cell
subset.

Genetics and structure

In humans, thrombomodulin is encoded by the THBD

transmembrane domain.[8]
It is a member of the
C-type lectin domain (CTLD) group 14 family.[9]

Function

Thrombomodulin functions as a cofactor in the thrombin-induced activation of protein C in the anticoagulant pathway by forming a 1:1 stoichiometric complex with thrombin. This raises the speed of protein C activation thousandfold. Thrombomodulin-bound thrombin has procoagulant effect at the same time by inhibiting fibrinolysis by cleaving thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI, aka carboxypeptidase B2) into its active form.[citation needed]

Thrombomodulin is a

atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome (aHUS).[10]

The antigen described as BDCA-3[11] has turned out to be identical to thrombomodulin.[12] Thus, it was revealed that this molecule also occurs on a very rare (0.02%) subset of human dendritic cells called MDC2. Its function on these cells is unknown.[citation needed]

Interactions

Thrombomodulin has been shown to

interact with thrombin.[13][14]
