FASLG and autoimmune polyendocrinopathy: Given that several human monoclonal aPL have been found to inhibit the inactivation of procoagulant serine proteases and functional activities of anticoagulant/fibrinolytic serine proteases (7, 8, 13, 19), it has been suggested that some aPL may recognize the catalytic domain of serine proteases, leading to dysregulation of hemostasis and vascular thrombosis in the APS.
