Abstract excerpt
Coagulation factor V (FV) promotes inactivation of activated factor VIII (FVIIIa) by activated protein C (APC) and protein S. Loss of this APC cofactor activity is proposed to be partially responsible for the APC resistance phenotype of FV(Leiden). However, FVIIIa loses activity rapidly due to dissociation of the A2 domain, and this may be the primary mechanism of FVIIIa inactivation. APC/protein S also readily...
