Abstract excerpt
The anticoagulant activated protein C (APC) protects neurons and endothelium via protease activated receptor (PAR)1, PAR3 and endothelial protein C receptor. APC is neuroprotective in stroke models. Bleeding complications may limit the pharmacologic utility of APC. Here, we compared the 3K3A-APC mutant with 80% reduced anticoagulant activity and wild-type (wt)-APC. Murine 3K3A-APC compared with wt-APC protected...
