Abstract excerpt
The intrinsic factor Xase complex (FXase) is comprised of a serine protease, FIXa, and a protein cofactor, FVIIIa, assembled on a phospholipid surface. Activity of FXase decays with time and reflects the lability of FVIIIa. Two mechanisms potentially contribute to this decay: (i) a weak affinity interaction between the FVIIIa A2 subunit and Al/A3-Cl-C2 dimer and (ii) FVIIIa inactivation resulting from...
