Protein S deficiency C cofactor activity Among the possible presentation of protein S deficiency are: In terms of the cause of protein S deficiency it can be in "inherited" via autosomal dominance.A mutation in the PROS1 gene triggers the condition. The cytogenetic location of the gene in question is chromosome 3, specifically 3q11.1 Protein S deficiency can also be "acquired" due to vitamin K deficiency, treatment with warfarin, liver disease, and acute thrombosis (antiphospholipid antibodies may also be a cause as well) In regards to the mechanism of protein S deficiency, Protein S is principally made in liver cells. Protein S is a
