Abstract excerpt
Protein C (PC) is a key regulator of blood clotting and inflammation. Its inherited deficiency is associated with venous thromboembolism, and recombinant activated PC is currently used to increase survival in severe sepsis. The molecular basis of inherited PC deficiency is heterogeneous. Due to its multiple physiologic interactions and functions, and its modular structure, natural variants aid in the...
