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
