Thrombin inhibitor activated by the glycosaminoglycans, heparin or dermatan sulfate. In the presence of the latter, HC-II becomes the predominant thrombin inhibitor in place of antithrombin III(AT-III). Also inhibits chymotrypsin, but in a glycosaminoglycan-independent manner.
Peptides at the N-terminal of HC-II have chemotactic activity for both monocytes and neutrophils.
