Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/10/2018 -- Alpha-2 Antiplasmin Market : Overview

Alpha-2 antiplasmin or plasmin inhibitor, is a type of glycoprotein synthesized by the liver, kidneys and other tissues of the body. It is a serine protease inhibitor which belongs to the Serpin superfamily that acts as the primary inhibitor of the serine protease plasmin. Fibrinolysis occurs due to the conversion of plasminogen to serine protease plasmin by plasminogen activator. Deficiency of Alpha 2 antiplasmin causes a bleeding disorder owing to the increase fibrinolysis. Alpha-2 antiplasmin is the protein responsible for the degradation of fibrin clots and inhibition of fibrinolysis. Congenital deficiency of this glycoprotein leads to internal hemorrhage. Alpha-2 antiplasmin is present in two distinct forms which are as follows:


- Plasminogen binding

- Non-plasminogen binding

Alpha 2 antiplasmin is used in various diagnostic technologies such as:




- Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA)

- Immunohistochemistry – Frozen (IHC-F)

- Immunohistochemistry – Paraffin (IHC-P)

- Flow Cytometry


End-users of alpha-2 antiplasmin protein are as follows:


- Hospitals

- Clinics

- Diagnostic labs

- Private Labs


The aforementioned end users use this protein in patients with alpha 2 antiplasmin or plasmin inhibitor deficiency especially in patients who have reported to have significant episodes of internal bleeding following a minor trauma and bleeding into the joints.Patients with alpha 2 antiplasmin deficiency often experiences severe medical complications such as:


- Prolonged bleeding from wounds

- Increased bleeding after consumption of NSAIDs.

- Bleeding into joints followed by trauma

- Increased muscle bleeding, hematomas and bruising

- Bleeding of gastrointestinal tract

- Mucosal and CNS bleeding


In the geographical perspective, North America is the leading market owing to the rise in cases of metabolic syndrome. It has been proved that excess levels of alpha-2 antiplasmin is associated with metabolic syndrome and other cardiovascular diseases. Deficiency of alpha-2 antiplasmin protein causes development of atherosclerotic plaque which results in various heart diseases.According to the American Heart Association almost 35% of adults in the U.S. are suffering from metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, the Europe and Asia-Pacific regions are expected to witness increased market traction due to increased incidence rate of cardiovascular diseases.
