The factor VII-activating protease (FSAP, hyluronan-binding protein 2) is a serine protease that has only recently been discovered. FSAP ( Engl. Factor VII-activating protease ) has two important functions in the system of hemostasis . On the one hand, it activates factor VII to form factor VIIa and thus starts the plasmatic coagulation of the blood . On the other hand, it is also an activator for certain plasminogen activators, in particular for prourokinase, a precursor of urokinase . The enzyme plasmin is at the end of this activation chain and is able to dissolve a fibrin clot again. A defect in the gene that codes for FSAP is known as Marburg I polymorphism . This defect could theoretically lead to an insufficient activation of plasminogen activators, which in turn could result in an increased tendency to thrombotic events . This theory was supported by Hoppe et al. proven in a study. Van Minkelen et al. Found no connection between Marburg I polymorphism and thrombotic events in their own study. They traced Hoppe's results back to their selection criteria for the study participants in the groups of patients and control persons.
