Biological Significance
Protein C, also known as autoprothrombin IIA and blood coagulation factor XIV is a zymogenic protein, the activated form of which plays an important role in regulating blood clotting, inflammation, cell death and maintaining the permeability of blood vessel walls in humans and other animals.
