Protein C (PC), a 62,000-molecular weight vitamin K-dependent serine protease zymogen, is a natural anticoagulant that occurs in plasma at 4 mg/L. Activated PC inactivates clotting factors V and VIII and is also profibrinolytic. Activated PC is enhanced in its anticoagulant activity by protein S
Protein C (PC) is the zymogen form of a serine protease, activated protein C (APC), a naturally occurring anticoagulant. In control of the coagulation of blood, APC functions by attenuating thrombin formation. It serves this role through inactivation, by limited proteolysis, of two important
We report the characterization of the genetic defect in a family with hereditary type-II protein C (PC) deficiency. The propositus is a 28-year-old woman with a history of thrombosis. Her PC activity level (58%) and PC antigen level (115%) are compatible with the diagnosis of type-II PC deficiency.
Protein C (PC) is a 62-kDa vitamin K-dependent plasma zymogen which, after activation to serine protease, plays an important role in the physiologic regulation of blood coagulation. Given that PC is one of the major naturally occurring inhibitors of coagulation, acquired or hereditary deficiencies
BACKGROUND
Protein C (PC) is one of the most important physiological inhibitors of coagulation proteases. Hereditary PC deficiency causes a predisposition to venous thrombosis (VT). The genetic characteristics of PC deficiency in the Chinese population remain unknown.
METHODS
Thirty-four unrelated
Mice with a severe genetic deficiency of protein C (PC), PC(-/-)PC(tg4), display enhanced susceptibility to lethal effects of gram-negative endotoxemia induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), whereas mice severely deficient in tissue factor (TF), TF(-/-)hTF(tg), are protected from LPS-mediated
Protein C(PC) is the zymogen of a serine protease which regulates blood coagulation by inactivating activated blood coagulation factors V and VIII. We investigated the plasma level of PC in patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT, n = 50), Buerger's disease (n = 34), arteriosclerosis obliterans (n =
The important role of protein C (PC) in the regulation of hemostasis has been appreciated since the description of patients who were deficient in PC and presented with severe thromboembolic events. The potentially fatal complications associated with PC-deficiency require an early and reliable
BACKGROUND
Activated protein C (PC) is a serine protease that regulates blood coagulation by inactivating coagulation factors Va and VIIIa. PC deficiency is an autosomally inherited disorder associated with a high risk of recurrent venous thrombosis. The aim of the study was to explore the
