Aug 1, 2025 · Activated protein C (APC) is a naturally occurring protein in the human body that plays a role in maintaining the delicate balance of various physiological processes. It is a serine protease, a …

Activated Protein C is a protein that plays a crucial role in reducing blood clot formation and inflammation. It achieves this by inhibiting the production of thrombin, a pro-inflammatory and pro …

Alterations in expression of Protein C (PC) pathway components have been identified in patients with active inflammatory disease states. While the PC pathway plays a pivotal role in regulating …

Dec 31, 2025 · Activated Protein C (APC) is a serine protease enzyme that plays a vital role in the regulation of blood clotting. It is derived from the inactive form of protein C through a process known …

Activated Protein C: endogenous human protein; recombinant glycoprotein with anti-thrombotic, profibrinolytic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Protein C is activated when it binds to thrombin and is greatly promoted by the presence of thrombomodulin and endothelial protein C receptors (EPCRs).

Nov 15, 2025 · When the body requires a halt to clotting, Protein C is converted into its active form, Activated Protein C (APC). APC is a serine protease with a dual biological function, providing both …

Activated protein C is a potent anticoagulant that is produced by the activation of protein C. It works by enzymatically cleaving the thrombin-activated forms of Factors V and VIII, rendering them …

Jul 12, 2018 · In addition to its antithrombotic role as a plasma protease, pharmacologic APC is a pleiotropic protease that activates diverse homeostatic cell signaling pathways via multiple receptors …
