| 摘要 |
The present invention is concerned with a variant blood coagulation component, which is substantially homologous in amino acid sequence to a wild-type blood coagulation component capable of exhibiting anticoagulant activity in the protein C-anticoagulant system of blood and selected from protein C (PC) and activated protein C (APC), said variant component being capable of exhibiting an anticoagulant activity, that is enhanced in comparison with the anticoagulant activity expressed by the corresponding wild-type blood coagulation component, and said variant component differing from the respective wild-type component, in that it contains in comparison with said wild-type component at least one amino acid residue modification in its N-terminal amino acid residue sequence that constitutes the Gla-domain of protein C and at least one amino acid residue modification in the serine-protease domain of protein C. The present invention is also concerned with methods to produce such variants based on DNA technology; with DNA segments intended for use in the said methods; and with use of said variants for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes.
