Processing of Factor XII during Inflammatory Reactions
The contact system was originally identified as an obsolete part of the coagulation system, but it has been repeatedly implicated in inflammatory states, such as infection, as well as in allergic- and chronic inflammatory disease. Under these conditions, there is surprisingly little evidence that factor XII (FXII) acts as a coagulation factor, and its activity appears to be mainly directed towa...
متن کاملFactor XII-Driven Inflammatory Reactions with Implications for Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction. It is triggered by the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators from mast cells and basophils in response to immunologic or non-immunologic mechanisms. Mediators that are released upon mast cell activation include the highly sulfated polysaccharide and inorganic polymer heparin and polyphosphate (polyP), respectively. Heparin and p...
متن کاملFactor XII Deficiency
Factor XII ia a single-chain beta-globulin serine protease with a molecular weight of 80,000 84,000 daltons and a plasma concentration of approximately 30 pg/mL. Proteolytic cleavage of factor XII is mediated by charged surfaces (glass, kaolin, cellite, dextran sulfate, endotoxin, urates, crude collagen, sulfatides), autoactivation, and kallikrein. Prekallikrein, factor XI, factor VII, plasmino...
متن کاملActivation of factor XII by dextran sulfate: the basis for an assay of factor XII.
A system was developed for studying the activation of factor XII (Hageman factor) in the presence of dextran sulfate (DS). Salient features of the system included low ionic strength (0.08), low concentration of factor XII (approximately 1/10,000 that in normal plasma), and an excess of exogenous prekallikrein (PK). In this system, factor XII was rapidly converted to the 80,000 molecular weight ...
متن کاملCharacterization of factor XII Tenri, a rare CRM-negative factor XII deficiency.
Factor XII Tenri (Y34C), a rare cross-reacting material (CRM)-negative factor XII deficiency, was identified in a 71-yr-old Japanese woman with angina pectoris. In the patient's plasma, factor XII activity and antigen levels were only 1.6% and 5.0%, respectively, of those seen in a normal subject. Immunoblot analysis showed that the secreted factor XII Tenri existed not only as a monomer (76 kD...
