Unit IV Flashcards
Factor XIII is a ___ that forms ___ bonds between ___ and ____ residues
transglutaminase
amide
lysine and glutamine
TF is expressed by
fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells surrounding blood vessels
Structure of fibrinogen
3 pairs of polypeptide chains (2
Aα-chains, 2 Bβ-chains, and 2 γ-chains)
arranged into identical half molecules in an
elongated polypeptide composed of three
globules: a central globule (labelled the E
domain) containing the N-terminal domain
of all of the polypeptides, and globules on
each end of the molecule, designated D
domains
Factor XIII cross links ___ domains
D
What happens to the phospholipid membrane during platelet activation?
anionic phospholipid phosphatidylserine translocated from inner to outer leaflet
Abnormal test in thrombocytopenia
platelet count
abnormal test in platelet dysfunction
bleeding time
abnormal test in hemophilia
APTT
abnormal test in factor VII def
APTT
abnormal test in dysfibrinogenemia
Thrombin clotting time (TCT)- fibrinogen defects
abnormal test in hypofibrinogenemia
fibrinogen
Only vitamin K dependent factor that is not a serine protease
Protein S
Homozygous protein C deficiency
fatal in neonates
neonatal purpuea fulminans
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor expressed by
constitutively by endothelial cells
Plasmin cleaves
both fibrionogen and fibrin
t-PA is a poor activator of plasmin in the absence of ____
fibrin
Thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor mechanism
- factor XIII covalently attaches it to fibrin
- cleaved to active form by thrombin-thrombomodulin complex
- removes C terminal of fibrin polecules and FDPs
- reduces plasminogen binding sites on fibrin
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-q (PAI-1) is present in
alpha granules of platelets
Deficiency in alpha 2 antiplasmin causes
bleeding disorder
two things that cause abnormal bleeding times
- decrease in platelet count
2. VW disease
Post operative hemorrhage in Ashkenazi Jew or middle eastern, possibly after prostectomy
Factor XI deficiency
Most common acquired factor inhibitor
factor VIII
- antibody to it
In a lab test of Factor VIII, the ___ will be abnormal. When you do a mixing study what will happen?
PTT
It will not correct
