Abstract excerpt
Activated protein C (APC) resistance is usually associated with a single DNA mutation predicting replacement of Arg506 by Gln in factor V (FV). Studies using synthetic peptides suggest that FV residues 493-506 provide factor Xa (FXa) and protein S binding sites. Biochemical studies were performed to test the hypothesis that the Arg506Gln FV mutation causes APC resistance and to define the nature of the resistance...
