Abstract

A method for the direct recombinant production of activated protein C is described. DNA compounds, vectors, and transformants useful in the method are also disclosed. The method involves transformation and culture of a host cell with a recombinant DNA vector that encodes a protein C molecule in which the activation peptide is replaced with a cleavage sequence for a cell associated protease.
