Abstract
Background: Factor VIII (FVIII) region 1803-1818 may bind activated factor IX (FIXa) or contribute to the stability of activated factor VIII (FVIIIa). Results: Replacing 1803-1810 or 1811-1818 with the homologous regions of factor V decreases FVIIIa stability. FVIII variant F1816A exhibits reduced FIXa binding and FVIIIa stability. Conclusion: FVIII region 1803-1818 is critical for cofactor function. Significance: Novel insight is obtained about FVIII cofactor function.
