Abstract excerpt
Background: We demonstrated that protein S (PS) directly impairs the intrinsic tenase complex, independent of activated protein C (APC), by competitively inhibiting the binding of factor (F)IXa to the A2 domain (residues 488-490) and light chain (LCh) of FVIIIa. Objectives: This study investigated the PS-binding sites within the FVIII-LCh subunit. Methods: Binding interactions between PS and the FVIII-LCh were...
