Blood Cells Mol Dis 29:139-44. 2002..015). Protein Z is suggested to be a physiologic downregulator of blood coagulation and low protein Z levels are associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke, particularly in males and in the absence of diabetes...
C-terminal residues 621-635 of protein S are essential for binding to factor VaM J Heeb
Departments of Molecular and Experimental Medicine and Vascular Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, California 92037, USA
J Biol Chem 274:36187-92. 1999..These results show that the C-terminal region of protein S containing residues 621-635 is essential for binding of protein S to Factor Va and that this interaction contributes to anticoagulant action...

Committee on Vascular Biology, Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, California 92037
J Biol Chem 268:2872-7. 1993..These data show that protein S has an anticoagulant function which is independent of activated protein C and, at least in part, that this is because of its competition with prothrombin for direct binding to Factor Va...
