Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to DNA compounds which encode human protein C activity. A variety of eukaryotic and prokaryotic recombinant DNA expression vectors have been constructed that comprise the novel protein C activity-encoding DNA and drive expression of protein C activity when transformed into an appropriate host cell. The novel expression vectors can be used to produce protein C derivatives, such as non- carboxylated, non-glycosylatedd, or non-hydroxylated protein C, and to produce protein C precursors, such as nascent or zymogen protein C, and to produce subfragments of protein C, such as active or inactive light and heavy chain. The recombinant-produced protein C activity is useful in the treatment and prevention of a variety of vascular disorders.
