Application

Factor V activating enzyme from Russell′s viper venom (RVV) is a single-chain glycoprotein that is involved in the rapid clotting of blood. Factor V circulates in the blood as an inactive cofactor and must be activated by proteases such as Factor V activating enzyme from RVV . This product may be useful in studying the blood coagulation cascade as well as the inherited deficiency called parahemophilia .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Factor V activator for RVV contains fucose, mannose, galactose, glucosamine, and neuraminic acid. Factor V activating enzyme from RVV is an arginine esterase that is sensitive to diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) .

Unit Definition

One unit will increase the Factor V activity in 0.1 mL of fresh normal human plasma by at least 2× after incubation for 3 min at 37 °C.

Physical form

Stabilized in albumin and sodium chloride.

Russell's viper venom blood coagulation factor V activator (RVV-V) is a thrombin-like serine proteinase that specifically activates factor V by cleaving a single peptide bond between Arg1545 and Ser1546. Activated factor V combines with activated factor X produced by the

Human blood coagulation Factor V (FV) is a plasma protein with little procoagulant activity. Limited proteolysis at Arg(709), Arg(1018), and Arg(1545) by thrombin or Factor Xa (FXa) results in the generation of activated FV, which serves as a cofactor of

Because understanding of the inventory, connectivity and dynamics of the components characterizing the process of coagulation is relatively mature, it has become an attractive target for physiochemical modeling. Such models can potentially improve the design of therapeutics. The prothrombinase complex
