F8 (Coagulation Factor VIII, Antihemophilic Factor, AHF, Procoagulant Component, F8C, Factor VIII, FactorVIII, Factor8, Factor 8, Factor-VIII, Factor-8)

Hemostasis following tissue injury involves the deployment of essential plasma procoagulants (prothrombin, and Factors X, IX, V, and VIII), which are involved in a blood coagulation cascade that leads to the formation of insoluble fibrin clots and the promotion of platelet aggregation. Coagulation Factor VII (serum prothrombin conversion accelerator, proconvertin, F7, Factor VII) is a 406 amino acid, vitamin K-dependent, single chain serine protease that is synthesized in the liver and circulates as an inactive precursor. Factor IX A, Factor X A, Factor XII A, or thrombin mediated proteolytic...
