Abstract excerpt
The dysfunctional coagulation factor XII (FXII) Locarno was purified from 2 L of the proposita's plasma. Studies to identify the molecular defect responsible for the lack of amidolytic and proteolytic activity of this FXII variant were performed. Amino acid sequence analysis of peptides obtained from FXII Locarno on activation with either trypsin or plasma kallikrein and dextran sulfate showed an amino acid...
