General description

Factor V is a single chain glycoprotein involved in the blood coagulation cascade. It is the procofactor of Va which accelerates the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin.

Application

Factor V is a key component in blood coagulation systems, where deficiencies can inhibit thrombin generation and affect hemostasis. It has been used in studies of Coagulopathic bleeding which occurs following injury and is a leading cause of in hospital deaths.

Coagulation factor V (fV) is the precursor of fVa, which, together with fXa, Ca2+, and phospholipids, defines the prothrombinase complex and activates prothrombin in the penultimate step of the coagulation cascade. We solved the cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of

Coagulopathic bleeding is a leading cause of in-hospital death after injury. A recently proposed transfusion strategy calls for early and aggressive frozen plasma transfusion to bleeding trauma patients, thus addressing trauma-associated coagulopathy (TAC) by transfusing clotting factors (CFs). This strategy
