[La protéine C] utilise un cofacteur, la protéine S, et va interagir avec la thrombomoduline exprimée par les cellules endothéliales. Cette interaction a comme résultat la génération de la protéine C activée (PCa) qui inhibe les facteurs Va et VIIIa et diminue ainsi la génération de thrombine. 2, record 1, French, - prot%C3%A9ine%20C%20activ%C3%A9e
