Background
Protein C (PC) is a major physiological anticoagulant, and an important regulator of the blood coagulation system. PC is a vitamin K dependent serine protease enzyme that is activated by thrombin. The anticoagulant PC is converted to activated protein C (APC) by the thrombomodulin (TM) - thrombin complex on the phospholipid surface of endothelial cells, monocytes and platelets. APC degrades coagulation Factors Va and VIIIa rendering these factors inactive. APC provides physiologic antithrombotic activity and exhibits both anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic activity. Treatment with APC has been shown to improve the clinical outcome of patients with sepsis.Synonyms: Anticoagulant protein C, Autoprothrombin IIA, Blood coagulation factor XIV, Inactivator of coagulation factors Va and VIIIa, PROC1, Vitamin K-dependent protein C
