Protein existenceEvidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function

Anticoagulant serine protease that acts by quickly activating protein C (PC). This activation is thrombomodulin-independent. Ref.2

Subunit structure

Monomer.

Subcellular location

Secreted.

Tissue specificity

Expressed by the venom gland.

Biotechnological use

Is used in diagnostic practice for the determination of disorders in the PC pathway. Functional assays are either clotting assays or based on determinations using chromogenic assays. Sold under the name Protac by Pentapharm. Ref.4

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Snake venom subfamily.

Contains 1 peptidase S1 domain.
