Abstract excerpt
During tissue factor (TF)-induced coagulation, the factor (F)VIIa-TF complex activates factor (F)X and factor (F)IX. Through positive feedback, the generated FXa and FIXa activate FVII-TF. The first epidermal growth factor-like (EGF1) domains of FX and FIX serve as important TF-recognition motifs when FVIIa-TF activates FX or FIX. Here, we investigated the role of EGF1 domains of FXa and FIXa during the...
