Mouse anticoagulant protein C (461 residues) shares 69% sequence identity with its human ortholog. Interspecies experiments suggest that there is an incompatibility between mouse and human protein C, such that human protein C does not function efficiently in mouse plasma, nor does mouse protein C function efficiently in human plasma. | ễFEBS Journal Mouse recombinant protein C variants with enhanced membrane affinity and hyper-anticoagulant activity in mouse plasma 1 2 2 -2 Michael J.

Previously we described a series of human activated protein C APC Gla domain mutants . QGNSEDY-APC with enhanced membrane affinity that also served as superior anticoagulants. To characterize these Gla mutants further in mouse models of diseases the analogous mutations were now made in mouse protein C. In total seven mutants mutated at one or more of positions P10S12D23Q32N33 and wild-type protein C were expressed and purified to homogeneity. In a surface plasmon resonance-based membranebinding assay several high affinity protein C mutants were identified. In Ca2 titration experiments the high affinity variants had a significantly reduced four-fold Ca2 requirement for half-maximum binding. In a tissue factor-initiated .
