Factor 13 (Coagulation Factor XIII A Chain, Coagulation Factor XIIIa, Protein-glutamine gamma-glutamyltransferase A Chain, Transglutaminase A Chain, F13A1, F13A, Factor13)

Hemostasis following tissue injury involves the deployment of essential plasma procoagulants (prothrombin, and factors V, VIII, IX and X), which are involved in a blood coagulation cascade leading 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 IXa, factor Xa, factor XIIa, or thrombin mediated proteolytic cleavage...
