Abstract excerpt
The procoagulant function of activated factor V (FVa) is inhibited by activated Protein C (APC) through proteolytic cleavages at R306, R506 and R679. Recombinant FVa mutated at all three APC-cleavage sites, FVa-GQA, was still inactivated by APC through at least two cleavages in the heavy chain of FVa; relatively rapid cleavage at R(x1) close to residue 506 and slower cleavage at R(x2) nearby residue 306. We...
