Abstract excerpt
Protein S expresses cofactor activity for activated protein C (APC) by enhancing the APC-catalyzed proteolysis at R(306) in factor Va. It is generally accepted that only free protein S is active and that complex formation with C4b-binding protein (C4BP) inhibits the APC-cofactor activity of protein S. However, the present study shows that protein S-C4BP expresses APC-cofactor activity and stimulates APC-catalyzed...
