Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Factor (F)VIIIa acts as a cofactor with FIXa on phospholipid surfaces to convert FX to FXa. Region 1900 to 1908 is a known FVIIIa antibody epitope, with mutations in this region linked to hemophilia A. However, its role in FXase activity is unclear. This study investigates how individual residues within 1900 and 1908 affect interprotein affinity and cofactor activity. OBJECTIVES: This study...
