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...

Factor XIII deficiency is a congenital defect of the blood coagulation system. Activated factor XIII is the fibrin cross-linking enzyme that catalyzes the formation of N 6 y-glutamyllysyl bonds in fibrin. Congenital deficiency of factor XIII has been described in approximately 65 separate families. It is apparent that this is a hereditary trait, but the mode of inheritance is unclear. In this s...

BACKGROUND Factor XIII deficiency is associated with recurrent miscarriages in women. CASE REPORT In this report, we present a patient with factor XIII deficiency and some comorbidities who had had previous miscarriages. She began treatment with factor XIII subunit A (XIII-A) replacement treatment Recombinant factor XIII (Tretten) at a dose of 2500 units monthly and was able, for the first time...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Major burn surgery causes large hemorrhage and coagulation dysfunction. Treatment algorithms guided by ROTEM® and factor VIIa reduce the need for blood products, but there is no evidence regarding factor XIII. Factor XIII deficiency changes clot stability and decreases wound healing. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of factor XIII correction and its repercu...

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...
