Abstract excerpt
The hypothesis that prothrombin (FII) protects coagulation factor Va (FVa) from proteolytic inactivation by activated protein C (APC) was tested using purified proteins. FII dose-dependently protected FVa from APC proteolysis under conditions where competition of proteins for binding to negatively-charged phospholipid surface was not relevant (i.e. either at high phospholipid vesicle concentrations or using...
