Internal duplication and sequence homology in factors V and VIII.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Blood coagulation factors V and VIII each serve cofactor functions with different vitamin K-dependent serine proteases of the coagulation cascade. Physical, physiologic, and kinetic data suggest analogous structures and functions for these two proteins. Proteolytically activated factor V (factor Va) is required for the efficient production of thrombin from prothrombin by factor Xa. Similarly, activated factor VIII (factor VIIIa) performs its cofactor activity with factor IXa to produce the activated form of factor X (factor Xa). The studies reported here on the sequences from the thrombin-activated and unactivated cofactors provide evidence that factor V and factor VIII are chemically related and that the structures of both cofactors involve some tandem duplication.

FACTOR V AND VIII INHIBITOR IN PATIENTS WITH COMBINED FACTOR V AND VIII DEFICIENCY
Patients with coagulation factor(s) deficiency who use coagulation therapy are susceptible to forming inhibitors against coagulation factor(s). In this survey we detected factor V and VIII inhibitor in ten patients with combined deficiency of factors V and VIII from north east of Iran (Khorassan province). It was revealed in our survey that eight patients had both factor V and factor VIII i...
متن کاملCombined Factor V and VIII Deficiency
This review summarizes current data on the pathomechanisms and new genetic findings of combined factor V and VIII deficiency (CF5F8D). Congenital haemorrhagic disorders characterized by deficiency of two clotting factors comprise an interesting group. Among dual coagulation disorders, CF5F8D is the most common type. For the first time combined factor V and VIII deficiency (F5F8D) was reported b...

Ticks are important acarina that infest animals. They are obligatory blood sucker arthropods which economically impact cattle industry by reducing weight gain and production. Moreover, they are important vectors of viral, bacterial, rickettsial and parasitic pathogens infecting humans and animals. In view of the importance of Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum in pathogen transmission, including Th...
متن کاملSome aspects of cosheaves on diffeological spaces
We define a notion of cosheaves on diffeological spaces by cosheaves on the site of plots. This provides a framework to describe diffeological objects such as internal tangent bundles, the Poincar'{e} groupoids, and furthermore, homology theories such as cubic homology in diffeology by the language of cosheaves. We show that every cosheaf on a diffeological space induces a cosheaf in terms of t...

Scorpion venom contains different toxins with multiple biological functions. IMe-AGAP is the first Analgesic-Antitumor like Peptide (AGAP) isolated from Iranian scorpion Mesobuthus eupeus. This peptide is similar to AGAP toxin with high analgesic activity, extracted from Chinese scorpion and inhibits NaV1.8 and NaV1.9 voltage-gated sodium channels involved in the ...
