Module 2 exam 1 lecture 3 Flashcards
What kind of protease is thrombin
Seriine protease
WHat are the two main proteins involved in clotting
Serine protease(thrombins)
Glycoproteins
name the serine pro-coagulant factors
XII, XI, X, IX, VII, II
protein C acts as an
anticoagulant
what factors does protein C cleave
cleaves factors Va, VIIIa and inactivates them
what are glycoproteins
Cofactors that localize factors to a particular region, they are procoagulatory
example of glycoproteins
factors VIII, v, III
Protein C and protein S complex
ANticoagulatory complex
what is the target for heparins
Anti-thrombin
is anti thrombin pro or anti coagulatory
anticoagulatory
how is antithrombin anticoagulatory
because It binds to a number of different factors and inactivate them and target them to be degraded
Calcium is sometimes referred to as
Factor IV
Why is calcium important in this context
It is an important co factor because it links different protease factors to phospholipid membrabne
What does transglutaminase do? Also called
Cross-links fibrin-fibers (factors XIII)
what is fibrinogen/fibrin
The substrate protein for factor IIa that polymerizes to form a clot
Where are CF (clotting factors ) produced?
CF (except for VWF) are made in liver
what is VWF
is a circulating factor that binds to collagen in damaged BV and recruits platelets
where is VWF made?
Endothelium (Factor VIII is also produced in endothelium)
Can liver disease affect coagulation?
yes, clotting factors are produced there.
What are the two different scenarios that lead to coagulation
Intrinsic and extrinsic pathway.
Explain the extrinsic pathway
Requires a protein or factor that is not present in bloodstream to come into contact with the blood. (important when vessel is damaged and blood leaks out)
Explain the intrinsic pathway
Triggered when collagen is exposed on the wall of the BV
What is the most important step in intrinsic pathway
activation of factor IX (9)
Extrinsic pathway MOA
Blood encounters tissue factor C (thromboplastin), which recognizes factor 7, leading to activation of factor 10
where do extrinsic and intrinsic pathways merge
activation of factor X
what does faxtor X do?
cleaves pro-thrombin to thrombin
how long does it take extrinsic pathway to start clot formation
15 seconds
where are factors VII and x found
in blood.
how is TF activated?
by binding to factor VII
what does factor VII do?
cleaves factor X and activates it to factor Xa
summarize actions of factor VII and x
factor x and factor VII are contents of the blood. IIf they are in BV, they will not encounter any TF. Once there is damage to the blood and it leaks, factor VII binds TF. Factor VII is actiavted and it can cleave factor x to factor Xa
how is factor X turned on in intrinsic pathway?
by factor ix (9)
the initiator of common pathway os factor
X
factor x does what?
cleaves prothrombin to thrombin
What happens once thrombin is activated
cleaves fibrinogen to fibrin, fibrin forms clot
thrombin also activates
factor 13 (transglutainase)
what does factor 13 (transglutaminase do?)
Crosslinks the fibrin strands and stabilizes the clot
examples of positive feedback activity in clotting
-thrombin has a positive feedback activity in the activation of coagulation
-platelet activation increases activation of factors VII and factor X
How does thrombin activation have a positive feedback
activates cofactors factor V and factor VIII, enhancing activity
feedback mechanisms that dcerease coagulation
Antithrombin
Protein C system
Factor Xa
use of calcium chelators in collecting blood smaple?
preserves platelet function in storage.
