Identification of the MMRN1 Binding Region within the C2 Domain of Human Factor V*

In platelets, coagulation cofactor V is stored in complex with multimerin 1 in alpha-granules for activation-induced release during clot formation. The molecular nature of multimerin 1 factor V binding has not been determined, although multimerin 1 is known to interact with the factor V light chain. We investigated the region in factor V important for multimerin 1 binding using modified enzyme-linked immunoassays and recombinant factor V …
