Thrombin is a multifunctional protein, with procoagulant, inflammatory and anticoagulant effects. Binding of thrombin to thrombomodulin results in activation of Protein C and initiation of the Activated Protein C anticoagulant pathway, a process that is augmented by the endothelial cell Protein C receptor (EPCR). Activated Protein C has demonstrated antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and profibrinolytic properties. Its antithrombotic activity is particularly important in the microcirculation, and Protein C deficiency is associated with microvascular thrombosis. Activated Protein C has also been shown to modulate inflammation. When the level of thrombomodulin or Protein C is reduced in sepsis there is a vicious cycle of coagulation and inflammation, with potentially lethal consequences. In vitro studies and animal models have shown that Activated Protein C blunts the inflammatory and coagulant response to sepsis through a variety of mechanisms.

The normal role of Activated Protein C in maintaining homeostasis and its relevance to critical illness
