Abstract

A method for the recombinant production of zymogen forms of human protein C is described. These zymogen forms differ from native zymogen protein C in their increased sensitivity to activation by thrombin and thrombin/thrombomodulin. DNA compounds, vectors, and transformants useful in the method are also disclosed.
