Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The thrombin mutant W215A/E217A (WE-thrombin) is currently undergoing clinical trials to assess its therapeutic potential as an antithrombotic and cytoprotective drug. Mechanistically, it is thought that WE-thrombin exerts its protective effects indirectly through thrombomodulin (TM)-dependent activation of protein C (APC). APC exerts protective effects by both enzymatically inactivating procoagulant...
