Background:The protein encoded byThis intronless gene is an endothelial-specific type I membrane receptor that binds thrombin.This binding results in the activation of protein C, which degrades clotting factors Va and VIIIa and reduces the amount of thrombin generated. Mutations inThis gene are a cause of thromboembolic disease, also known as inherited thrombophilia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
