Zn2+‐containing protein S inhibits extrinsic factor X‐activating complex independently of tissue factor pathway inhibitor

Background: Protein S (PS) has direct anticoagulant activity, independently of activated protein C (APC). The mechanisms underlying this activity remain unclear, because PS preparations differ in activity, giving rise to conflicting results. Some purification procedures result in loss of intramolecu...
