Des-γ-Carboxy Prothrombin (DCP) as a Potential Autologous Growth Factor for the Development of Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Des-γ-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) is a prothrombin precursor produced in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Because of deficiency of vitamin K or γ-glutamyl carboxylase in HCC cells, the 10 glutamic acid (Glu) residues in prothrombin precursor did not completely carboxylate to γ...
