Methods and products for the treatment of a disorder characterized by the cleavage of a C-terminal lysine or arginine from an intact peptide are provided. In the methods of the invention a peptide that inhibits the activation of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) is administered in an effective amount and in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to a subject having a disorder characterized by the cleavage of a C-terminal lysine or arginine from an intact peptide. The compositions are pharmaceutical compositions of peptides that inhibit the activation of TAFI. Also provided is a monoclonal antibody that binds TAFI zymogen but that does not bind to active TAFI and inhibits the activation of TAFI.
