Hemostasis II Flashcards
What are 2 important intrinsic pathway proteins?
Factor XII and Factor XI
Activated on contact with negatively charged surface
Factor XII
Required for Factor XI to bind to negatively charged surface
HMKG
Binds and activates Factor IX
Factor XIa
Thrombin activation of Factor XI contributes to propagation of the
Clot
Functions in the propagation phase of clot-in conjunction with IXa
Factor XI
Associated with minor bleeding phenotype but can be clinically silent
Factor XI deficiency
Activates Factors V, VIII, IX, X, XI
Thrombin
In the intrinsic pathway, IXa forms complex with cofactor
VIIIa
This results in accelerated
Factor X to Xa formation
Xa forms complex with cofactor
Va
Xa forms complex with cofactor Va. This results in accelerated
Prothrombin to thrombin formation
The final step in the intrinsic pathway is
Thrombin cleaves fibrinogen
Activated by thrombin
Factor XIII
FXIIIa cross-links the
Fibrin chains
