Engineering a membrane-independent human prothrombinase through parsimonious mutation of factor Xa
2025-04-16
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> Thrombin is generated from its precursor prothrombin by sequential cleavage at Arg320 and Arg271 by the prothrombinase complex, composed of factor (f) Xa and fVa on phospholipid (PL) membrane surfaces. The affinity of human fXa for fVa is low in the absence of PL. However, fXa orthologues from the venom of group D snakes bind to fVa with high affinity, forming an active comp...
