Abstract excerpt
Blood clotting factor VIIa is involved in the first step of the blood coagulation cascade, as a membrane-associated enzyme in complex with tissue factor (TF). Factor VIIa is also an important therapeutic agent for hemophilia where its function may include TF-independent as well as TF-dependent mechanisms. This study compared the activity of wild type factor VIIa (WT-VIIa) with that of a mutant with elevated...
