BMS Exam III Flashcards
activated clotting factors
serine proteases
factor VIII deficiency
hemophilia A
tissue factor
thromboplastin
Warfarin/coumarin affects:
extrinsic pathway - blocks VKOR (vitamin K exposide reductase
Vitamin K, required cofactor
GLUTAMATION RXN for factors 2, 7, 9, 10 & Proteins C&S; post-translational MODIFICATION of several coagulation factors necessary for Ca+2 binding
reduced Vit K + clotting factors
γ-carboxyglutamate (GLA) = has high affinity binding site for Ca+2, which binds to coagulation factor
Anti-thrombin III (endogenous inhibitor)
inhibits all clotting factors (2, 7, 9, 10) that need factors that need Ca+2
HEPARIN activates anti-thrombin III
Protein C&S (endogenous inhibitor) inhibits
Va & VIIIa
TFPI (endogenous inhibitor)
inhibits TF-7A (similar to anti-thrombin III) = factors 2, 7, 9, 10 are inactivated
Intracellular PO4
intermediary metabolism in cells
Extracellular PO4
essential matrix mineralization
HIGH Ca+2 and PO4 in blood
CaPO4 = limited solubility – precipitate in soft tissue
1α-hydroxylase synthesizes (in kidneys)
calcitriol/vitD3 – rate limiting step: renal failure = major problem ; PTH simulates 1α-hydroxylase!
24-hydroxylase
deactivates vitD3 into calcitroic acid (regulation)
Ca+2 movement in intestine
paracellular + transcellular (Ca+2 channels)
Vitamin D deficiency
osteomalacia in adults, rickets in children
Vit D receptors
nuclear receptors = increase efficiency of translation
PTH
maintains plasma Ca+2 via GPCR signaling (Gs –> cAMP –> decreasing Gq, increaseing PLC
LOW plasma Ca+2
INCREASE in PTH release –> INCREASE plasma Ca+2 –> directly INCREASE bone resoprtion; DECREASE plasma PO4 because of PO4 excretion in urine (via Vit D)
PTH GPCR signaling
Uniquely DECREASES PTH release (negative feedback)
Majority Iron stored as
Ferritin (marcrophages + hepatocytes) – good indicator of iron levels
When iron is LOW in cells, IRP binds
mRNA binds 5’ to block translation of Ferritin (down regulation); binds 3’ end to increase synthesis of transferrin receptors
IRP bind 5’
down regulation = block Ferritin translation
IRP bind 3’
up regulation = increases transferrin receptors
IDA (Iron Deficiency Anemia)
Low serum ferritin, high level of transferrin – tx: ferrous sulfate + ascorbic acid
Anemia of Chronic Disease (ACD)
Cytokines stimulation hepcidin (inhibit ferroportin = down regulates intestinal absorption + releases Fe from macrophages) + inhibits erythropoiesis (decreased RBC production)
HIGH ferritin
ACD
Hemochromatosis
HFE defect, too much iron uptake inside cells; hepcidin cannot inhibit ferroportin
First substrates of heme metabolism
Succinyl CoA + glycine in mitochondria
