Fibrin stabilization (factor XIII), fibrin structure and thrombosis.

چکیده
Factor XIII (FXIII) is a zymogen that is converted into an active transglutaminase (FXIIIa) by the concerted action of thrombin and Ca2+. Its main task is to crosslink alpha-, and gamma-chains of fibrin and alpha2-plasmin inhibitor to fibrin. By this way FXIIIa strengthens fibrin and protects it from the prompt elimination by fibrinolytic system.The changes of FXIII level in thrombotic diseases are hardly explored and there are contradictory results concerning the protective effect of Val34Leu polymorphism against arterial or venous thrombosis. The results suggest that the thrombo-protective effect of Leu34 allele prevails only in certain genetic and/or environmental constellations.

Role of factor XIII in fibrin clot formation and effects of genetic polymorphisms.
Factor XIII and fibrinogen are unusual among clotting factors in that neither is a serine protease. Fibrin is the main protein constituent of the blood clot, which is stabilized by factor XIIIa through an amide or isopeptide bond that ligates adjacent fibrin monomers. Many of the structural and functional features of factor XIII and fibrin(ogen) have been elucidated by protein and gene analysis...
متن کاملCurrent understanding in diagnosis and management of factor XIII deficiency
Factor XIII or "fibrin-stabilizing factor," is a transglutaminase circulates in the blood circulation as a hetero tetramer with two catalytic A subunits and two carrier B subunits. This important coagulation factor has a crucial role in clotting cascade and produces strong covalent bonds between soluble formed fibrin monomers during coagulation. This stable cross linked fibrin strands are resis...
متن کاملA comparison of the mechanical, kinetic, and biochemical properties of fibrin clots formed with two different fibrin sealants.
The objective of the present study was to compare the mechanical, kinetic, and biochemical properties of fibrin clots produced using EVICEL Fibrin Sealant (Human) and TISSEEL Fibrin Sealant. The stiffness/elasticity and strength of fibrin clots formed with EVICEL and TISSEEL were assessed using applied mechanical force and thromboelastography (TEG). The factor XIII content of the fibrin clots w...

Factor XIII (Fibrin-stabilizing factor) is a tetrameric structural pro-transglutaminase from the transglutaminase family. Factor XIII activity is associated with the structure of fibrin clot. Factor XIII turns into XIII-A, which is an active transglutaminase, in the result phase of coagulation cascade together with Ca and thrombin activation. The main aim of Factor XIIIA is to connect ε(δ-gluta...

Coagulaon factor XIII gene, protein structure and funcon Coagulaon factor XIII (FXIII) is a tetrameric (FXIII- A2B2) pro-transglutaminase enzyme with an essenal role in the final stage of coagulaon cascade by cross linking the fibrin monomers and stabilizing the fibrin clot. Congenital FXIII deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder, with an autosomal recessive trait inheritance, and a fre...
