Activated Protein C Antibody

Activated protein C is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease that regulates blood coagulation by inactivating factors Va and VIIIa in the presence of calcium ions and phospholipids. Defects in activated protein C are the cause of protein C deficiency autosomal dominant (ADPROCD) disorder. ADPROCD is a cause of hereditary thrombophilia, a hemostatic disorder characterized by impaired regulation of blood coagulation and a tendency to recurrent venous thrombosis
