Informations
An enzyme is a protein that catalyzes a biochemical reaction. It converts a substrate into a product. Each enzyme has a structure adapted to its function and its activity is dependent on an optimum temperature and pH. Protein C is a 62 kDa glycoprotein, synthesized by the liver in the presence of vitamin K. PC is at the center of a physiological system that inhibits coagulation : the anticoagulant system of protein C. Thrombin associated with thrombomodulin loses its procoagulant properties at the same time as it activates PC to active protein C (PCa). PCa in the presence of protein S, calcium and phospholipids is capable of cleaving FVa and FVIIIa blocking the amplification loop of thrombin generation.
