Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The human activation peptide of factor XIII (AP-FXIII) comprises the first 37 amino acids of the N-terminus and holds the FXIII in an inactive state. FXIII is activated either proteolytically by cleavage of AP-FXIII by thrombin, or non-proteolytically by high calcium concentrations. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of AP-FXIII in the expression and stability of FXIII. METHODS: We cloned 13 FXIII...
