Abstract excerpt
APC (activated Protein C) inactivates human Factor VIIIa following cleavage at residues Arg336 and Arg562 within the A1 and A2 subunits respectively. The role of the P1 arginine in APC-catalysed inactivation of Factor VIIIa was examined by employing recombinant Factor VIIIa molecules where residues 336 and 562 were replaced with alanine and/or glutamine. Stably expressed Factor VIII proteins were activated by...
