Activated thrombin (factor IIa) binds to thrombomodulin at the external face of the plasma membrane, forming a thrombin:thrombomodulin complex. In this complexed form, the activity of thrombin towards protein C is greatly increased, and as thrombomodulin is particularly abundant on the surfaces of endothelial cells, this association plays a major role in restricting clot formation.
