-
the enzyme is part of the clotting cascade of Limulus polyphemus. Factor C, the first component of the cascade, is a serine protease that is activated by endotoxin binding. The cascade, initiated by lipopolysaccharide, culminates in the activation of the pro-clotting enzyme to its active form, the clotting enzyme, which in turn acts on coagulogen to convert it into the coagulin clot
