UniProtKB description:  Midgut thrombin inhibitor that plays a major role in keeping the midgut microenvironment at low hemostatic and inflammatory tonus (PubMed:18286181) (By similarity). Also inhibits FXIa (F11), kallikrein (KLK1), neutrophil elastase (ELANE) and cathepsin G (CTSG), which play a role in the contact pathway of the coagulation cascade (PubMed:18286181) (By similarity). Also abrogates platelet aggregation by cathepsin G and plasmin, and attenuates tissue factor (F3) pathway inhibitor cleavage by elastase (PubMed:18286181) (By similarity). In vivo, inhibits thrombosis and promotes bleeding in mice (By similarity).
