Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The homologous coagulation factor X (FX), VII (FVII), IX (FIX) and protein C (PC) display striking differences in the carboxyl-terminus, with that of FX being the most extended. This region is essential for FVII, FIX and PC secretion. OBJECTIVES: To provide experimental evidence for the role of the FX carboxyl-terminus. METHODS: Recombinant FX (rFX) variants were expressed in multiple eukaryotic cell...
