Coagulation Flashcards
Five components of the hemostasis system
Vascular
Platelet
Coagulation
Anti-coagulation
Fibrinolysis
Platelet glycoproteins
GPI-beta-alpha
GPVI
GPIIa/IIIb
Platelet G protein-coupled receptors
P2Y12
Protease activated receptor
Thromboxane A2 receptor
GPI-beta-alpha ligand
von Willebrand factor (vWf)
GPVI ligand
Collagen
GPIIa/IIIb ligand
Fibrinogen
P2Y12 ligand
ADP
Protease activated receptor (PAR) ligand
Thrombin
Thromboxane A2 receptor ligand
Thromboxane A2
Factor I name and function
“Fibrinogen”
Converted into fibrin (by thrombin), which forms the fibrin blood clot
Factor II name and function
“Prothrombin”
Is converted into thrombin, which cleaves fibrinogen
Activates Factor XIII into Factor XIIIa (crosslinks fibrin fibers)
Factor III name and function
“Tissue factor”
Exposed to Factor VII when vascular injury occurs, and activates this into Factor VIIa
Factor III/Factor VIIa/Ca2+ activates Factor X into Factor Xa
Factor IV name and function
“Ca2+”
Cofactor with most coagulation factors
Factor V function
Released by activated platelets
Converted into Factor Va by thrombin
Forms complex with Factor Xa, Ca2+, and phospholipids to form the prothrombin activator complex, which converts prothrombin into thrombin
Factor VI function
There is NO Factor VI
