Plasmin binds the serpin alpha-2-antiplasmin, forming a stable and catalytically inactive complex. While several serpin proteins bind and inactivate plasmin in vitro, alpha-2-antiplasmin appears to be the only one with substantial plasmin-neutralizing activity in vivo (Moroi and Aoki 1976; Lijnen et al. 1987).
