4) Biochemistry of factors Flashcards
3 biochemical categories of coag proteins based on function
substrate
cofactor
enzyme
each zymogen is first a ———– (proenzyme)
substrate
2 biochemical changes that activate a zymogen
proteolytic cleavage
conformational change
only substrate acted on which does not become an enzyme
fibrinogen
enhance function of factors they interact with
cofactors
tissue factor is cofactor for…
VII
V is cofactor for…
X
VIII is cofactor for…
IX
HMWK is cofactor for…
prekallikrein
XIIIa is not a serine protease but rather a…
transglutaminase
why does ↓ XII lead to clotting?
↓ kallikrein, ↓ double chain u-PA
↓ fibrinolysis
PIVKAs
(dysfunctional) proteins induced by vitamin K absence
3 groups of factors based on physical properties
contact factors
prothrombin proteins
fibrinogen factors
- activation of intrinsic system in vitro
- activated by negatively charged surfaces
- no essential role in vivo in activating cascade
contact factors
contact factors
- XII
- XI
- prekallikrein
- HMWK
- vitamin K dependent
- low MW
prothrombin proteins
prothrombin proteins
- II (prothrombin)
- VII
- IX
- X
why is vitamin K needed for the prothrombin proteins?
- contain glutamic acid
- undergoes gamma-carboxylation to become gamma-carboxyglutamic acid
- becomes Ca-binding receptor
- without K, carboxylation is disturbed
- no Ca binding
action of warfarin
inhibits vitamin K dependent factors
- not found in serum, consumed in clotting
- high MW
fibrinogen factors
fibrinogen factors
- I (fibrinogen)
- V
- VIII
- XIII
fibrinogen factors are acted on by ——- during coagulation
thrombin
