Mechanisms underlying the effects of activated protein C (APC) in cardiac muscle

University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences

Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences

APC is an anticoagulant enzyme that also exerts antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, antiapoptotic and a variety of other cytoprotective effects in different tissues, where the mechanism of action is thought to involve the endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) and a protease activated receptor (PAR).
