Description

General description

F13A1 (coagulation factor XIII A chain), a zymogen C, is a fibrin stabilizing glycoprotein. Coagulation factor XIII exists as a tetramer (A2B2) consisting of non-covalently bonded two A and two B subunits. F13A1 plays crucial role in termination of blood coagulation and and the fibrinolysis regulation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

During blood coagulation, thrombin produces activated factor XIIIa (F13A1) from proenzyme, a transglutaminase, in presence of calcium ions and fibrin. Activated F13A1 accelerates the cross-linking reaction between fibrin monomers and between fibrin and A2- plasmin inhibitor. This cross linking reaction finally forms intermolecular ε-(γ-glutamyl) lysine bonds between the y chains and α chains of fibrin monomers followed by fibrin clot. It also catalyzes the cross-linking of fibronectin to fibrin or to collagen reaction which is an essential step for wound healing. Deficiency of F13A1 causes a severe lifelong bleeding tendency, defective wound healing, and habitual abortion.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
