Abstract excerpt
The factor Va (FVa) inactivation by activated protein C (APC), mediated by cleavages at Arg306 and Arg506 in FVa, is inhibited by both factor Xa (FXa) and prothrombin. Although FXa is known to specifically inhibit the Arg506 cleavage, the effect of prothrombin has not been confined to one cleavage site. We used recombinant FV variants, FV:R506Q/R679Q and FV:R306Q/R679Q, to investigate the effect of prothrombin on...
