Abstract excerpt
Three thrombophilic patients with protein C (PC) deficiency were found to have independent mutations in the PC gene. These mutations resulted in single amino acid substitutions of R169W, R352W, and G376D in the affected PC molecules. These abnormal PC molecules were expressed in CHO-K1 cells in the presence or absence of vitamin K, and their synthesis, posttranslational modification, and secretion were studied....
