Abstract
Complement factor C3, the central protein of the complement system, was found to be phosphorylated both in EDTA- and heparin-anticoagulated whole blood and in coagulating blood. Complement S protein (vitronectin) was also found to be phosphorylated under these conditions. Further, purified C3 was found to be a phosphoprotein in vivo, containing 0.15 mol of alkali-labile phosphate/mol of protein. The ATP concentration in plasma was measured and found to be about 2 microM.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
