Term
I
Definition
Factor I (fibrinogen) - Forms clot (fibrin)
Term
II
Definition
Factor II (prothrombin) - Its active form (IIa) activates I, V, VII, VIII, XI, XIII, protein C, platelets
Term
Tissue factor
Definition
Co-factor of VIIa (formerly known as factor III)
Term
Calcium
Definition
Required for coagulation factors to bind to phospholipid (formerly known as factor IV)
Term
V
Definition
Factor V (proaccelerin, labile factor) - Co-factor of X with which it forms the prothrombinase complex
Term
VI
Definition
Unassigned – old name of Factor Va
Term
VII
Definition
Factor VII (stable factor) - Pro Convertin - Activates IX, X
Term
VIII
Definition
Factor VIII (Anti Hemophilic factor A) - Co-factor of IX with which it forms the tenase complex
Term
IX
Definition
Factor IX (Anti Hemophilic Factor B or Christmas factor) - Activates X: forms tenase complex with factor VIII
Term
X
Definition
Factor X (Stuart-Prower factor) - Activates II: forms prothrombinase complex with factor V
Term
XI
Definition
Factor XI (plasma thromboplastin antecedent) - Activates IX
Term
XII
Definition
Factor XII (Hageman factor) - Activates factor XI and prekallikrein
Term
XIII
Definition
Factor XIII (fibrin-stabilizing factor) - Crosslinks fibrin
Term
von Willebrand factor
Definition
Binds to VIII, mediates platelet adhesion
Term
prekallikrein
Definition
Activates XII and prekallikrein; cleaves HMWK
Term
high-molecular-weight kininogen (HMWK)
Definition
Supports reciprocal activation of XII, XI, and prekallikrein
Term
fibronectin
Definition
Mediates cell adhesion
Term
antithrombin III
Definition
Inhibits IIa, Xa, and other proteases;
Term
heparin cofactor II
Definition
Inhibits IIa, cofactor for heparin and dermatan sulfate ("minor antithrombin")
Term
protein C
Definition
Inactivates Va and VIIIa
Term
protein S
Definition
Cofactor for activated protein C (APC, inactive when bound to C4b-binding protein)
Term
protein Z
Definition
Mediates thrombin adhesion to phospholipids and stimulates degradation of factor X by ZPI
Term
Protein Z-related protease inhibitor (ZPI)
Definition
Degrades factors X (in presence of protein Z) and XI (independently)
Term
plasminogen
Definition
Converts to plasmin, lyses fibrin and other proteins
Term
alpha 2-antiplasmin
Definition
Inhibits plasmin
Term
tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)
Definition
Activates plasminogen
Term
urokinase
Definition
Activates plasminogen
Term
plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI1)
Definition
Inactivates tPA & urokinase (endothelial PAI)
Term
plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (PAI2)
Definition
Inactivates tPA & urokinase (placental PAI)
Term
cancer procoagulant
Definition
Pathological factor X activator linked to thrombosis in cancer
