Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Factor X (FX) is a serine-protease playing a crucial role in the blood coagulation pathway and triggering intracellular signalling in a variety of cells via protease-activated receptors (PARs). By exploiting naturally occurring variants (V342A and G381D, catalytic domain; E19A, gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (GLA)-rich domain), we investigated the relationship between the pro-coagulant activity and the...
