Protein S is a vitamin K-dependent, potent neutral anticoagulant plasma glycoprotein.
Protein S has a molecular weight of approximately 70kD and concists of a single polypeptide chain.
The concentration of protein S in human plasma is 25ug/ml, with a half-life of approximately two days.
About 40% of Protein S in plasma is in a free form, whereas 60% is complexed with C4b-binding Protein (C4BP).
Only the free Protein S functions as a cofactor to antigen presenting cells (APC) in the APC-dependent degradation of Factor Va and Factor VIIIa.
Protein S is thought to function in both the coagulation and complement cascades.
It has been suggested that g-carboxyglutamic acid (gla) dependent binding of protein S to negatively charged phospholipids may function to concentrate C4BP at cell surfaces following injury.
The domain structure of Protein S is similar to that of the other vitamin K-dependant coagulation factors with the exception that Protein S does not possess the catalytic triad.
Protein S is a single chain protein containing 10 gla residues in the NH2-terminal domain and 4 epidermal growth factor (EGF) domains.
