Overview of hemostasis
FIGURE 36.1
Vitamin K dependent proteins
Factor 7, 9, 10, 2 (prothrombin) Anticoagulant protein C, S, Z except for S and Z, the rest are serine proteases
Procoagulant proteins overview

Anticoagulant protein, inhibitor and receptors overview
TABLE 36.2
Action of vitamin K
Reduces glutamate into gamma-carboxyglutamate allows protein to interact with Ca2+
Cofactor proteins in hemostasis
1) Factor V 2) Factor VIII 3) TF (tissue factor) 4) TM (thrombomodulin)
Molecular change of factor V leiden
arg506Gln mutation Slow to inactivate factor Va Leiden = prothrombotic
Factor VIII activation
1) by thrombin cleavage at 3 sites –> heterotrimeric cofactor VIIIa (lacks vWF binding site) 2) downregulated by spontaneous dissociation or by APC
Tissue factor keypoints
1) cell bound 2) non-enzymatic cofactor with Factor VIIa that activates factor 9 and 10
Thrombomodulin key points
1) cofactor for activation of protein C 2) cell bound 3) thrombin binds TM –> thrombin activity neutralized and inactivated 4) thrombin-TM complex activates protein C
Action of protein C-ase
1) inactivate cofactor Va and Factor VIIIa 2) suppress thrombin formation 3) activate thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (antifibrinolytic role)
4 vitamin-k-dependent enzyme complexes
FIGURE 36.4 1) extrinsic tenase complex: factor 7a, TF 2) intrinsic tenase complex: factor 9a, 8a 3) prothrombinase complex: factor 10a, 5a 4) anticoagulant protein case complex: thrombin, TM
Deficiency in hemophilia C
Factor 11
Factor 11 key points
1) catalyzed by thrombin to form 11a 2) function in propagation phase of thrombin generation
Proteins necessary for activation of intrinsic pathway
1) factor 12 2) prekallikrein 3) HMWK (high molecular weight kininogen)
Intrinsic pathway
1) factor 12 autoactivate to factor 12a when foreign surface 2) activated kallikrein and factor 11a kallikrein positively cleave HMWK more Factor 11a negatively regulates HMWK cleavage
Part of the three elements of the HMWK complex in intrinsic pathway
HMWK prekallikrein factor 11
Inhibitors of clot formation
1) antithrombin 2) tissue factor pathway inhibitor 3) heparin cofactor 2 4) protein C inhibitor
Incidence of congenital AT deficiency
1 in 2000-5000
Antithrombin key points
1) broad-spectrum anticoagulant 2) interacts with thrombin, factor 10a, 9a, 7a-TF, 11a, 12a, kallikrein, HMWK 3) potentiated by heparin and heparan sulfates (10000x)
