Abstract excerpt
We have previously described a genetic factor IX variant (Cys18-->Arg) for which we demonstrated that it had formed a heterodimer with alpha 1-microglobulin through formation of a disulphide bond with the remaining free cysteine residue of the disrupted disulphide bond in the Gla-domain of factor...
