Abstract excerpt
Activation of the anticoagulant human plasma serine protease zymogen, protein C, by a complex of thrombin and the membrane protein, thrombomodulin, generates activated protein C, a physiologic anti-thrombotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic agent. Alanine-scanning site-directed mutagenesis of residues in five surface loops of an extensive basic surface on protein C was used to identify residues that play...
