Abstract excerpt
Activation of protein C by thrombin is stimulated by the endothelial cell cofactor thrombomodulin. The structural regions of thrombomodulin necessary for cofactor activity have been localized to the fourth through sixth epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains. The fourth EGF-like domain is unnecessary for high affinity thrombin binding, but is required for cofactor activity. To identify essential sequences...
