Abstract excerpt
Protein C (PC) activation on endothelial cells is a critical antithrombotic mechanism. Hereditary PC deficiency (PCD), which is caused by mutations in the PROC gene, can predispose affected individuals to thrombophilia. Previous studies investigated activated protein C (APC) generation in PCD patients without including endothelial cells, which are essential for physiological PC activation. This study aimed to...
