Coagulation factor XIII: a multifunctional transglutaminase with clinical potential in a range of conditions.
Coagulation factor XIII (FXIII), a plasma transglutaminase, is best known as the final enzyme in the coagulation cascade, where it is responsible for cross-linking of fibrin. However, a growing body of evidence has demonstrated that FXIII targets a wide range of additional substrates that have important roles in health and disease. These include antifibrinolytic proteins, with cross-linking of ...
متن کاملCharacterization of the gene for the a subunit of human factor XIII (plasma transglutaminase), a blood coagulation factor.
Factor XIII (plasma transglutaminase, fibrin stabilizing factor) is a glycoprotein that circulates in blood as a tetramer (a2b2) consisting of two a and two b subunits. The primary structures of the a and b subunits of human factor XIII have been reported by a combination of cDNA cloning and amino acid sequence analysis. To establish the gene structure of the a subunit for factor XIII, several ...

متن کاملFactor XIII deficiency: a review of literature
Coagulaon factor XIII gene, protein structure and funcon Coagulaon factor XIII (FXIII) is a tetrameric (FXIII- A2B2) pro-transglutaminase enzyme with an essenal role in the final stage of coagulaon cascade by cross linking the fibrin monomers and stabilizing the fibrin clot. Congenital FXIII deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder, with an autosomal recessive trait inheritance, and a fre...
متن کاملInhibition of Fibrinolysis by Coagulation Factor XIII
The inhibitory effect of coagulation factor XIII (FXIII) on fibrinolysis has been studied for at least 50 years. Our insight into the underlying mechanisms has improved considerably, aided in particular by the discovery that activated FXIII cross-links α2-antiplasmin (α2AP) to fibrin. In this review, the most important effects of different cross-linking reactions on fibrinolysis are summarized....
