Factor XIII is a zymogen found in the blood of humans and other animals. It is activated by thrombin to factor XIIIa. XIIIa is an enzyme in the blood clotting system that crosslinks fibrin.
Factor XIII (Fibrin-stabilizing factor)
Tag: extrinsic and intrinsic pathway of coagulation
Factor XII (Hageman factor)
Factor XII initiates the intrinsic coagulation cascade and is linked to the fibrinolytic, kallikrein-kinin, and complementary systems.
Factor XI (Plasma thromboplastin)
Factor XI deficiency is a rare genetic bleeding disorder caused by reduced levels and insufficient activity of a blood protein called factor XI. Factor XI is a clotting factor.
Factor X (Stuart factor)
Factor X plays a role in blood clotting, also called coagulation, which helps you stop bleeding. Known as clotting factors, several crucial proteins, including factor X, are involved in helping the blood to clot.
Factor IX (Christmas factor)
Factor IX is a protein naturally produced in the body. It helps the blood form clots to stop bleeding. Factor IX injections are used to treat hemophilia B, which is sometimes called Christmas disease.
Factor VIII (Antihemophilic factor)
Factor VIII (FVIII) is an essential protein for blood clotting, also known as antihemophilic factor (AHF). In humans, factor VIII is encoded by the F8 gene.
Factor VII (Stable factor)
Factor VII deficiency is a blood clotting disorder that causes excessive or prolonged bleeding after injury or surgery.
Factor VI
Factor VI is Unassigned – old name of Factor Va. Factor Va is a cofactor for the serine protease factor Xa, and in the presence of calcium ions they collectively assemble on a phospholipid surface to form the prothrombinase complex
Factor V (Labile Factor)
Factor V deficiency is also known as Owren’s disease or parahemophilia. It’s a rare bleeding disorder that results in poor clotting after an injury or surgery.
Factor IV (Ionized calcium)
Clotting factor IV is a calcium ion that plays an important role in all 3 pathways. Some of the clotting factors function as serine proteases, specifically factors II, VI, IX, and X. Also Known as: Coagulation Fators, Factor Assays, Blood Clotting Factors, Clotting Factors, Factor I, Factor II, Factor III,Factor IV, Factor V, Factor VI, Factor VII, Factor VIII, Factor IX, Factor X, Factor XI, Factor XII,Factor XIII Related Tests: Prothrombin Time (PT), Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT), Fibrinogen, Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) Why […]
