General description

Factor V, a glycoprotein is usually seen in the alpha granules of platelets and in plasma.
Factor Va is the activated form of factor V and the cofactor of Xa. It is a component of the prothrombinase complex.

Biochem/physiol Actions

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 hospital deaths.
Factor Va serves as a receptor and positive effector of factor Xa. Hence it can efficiently help in the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin.

The intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of the coagulation cascade converge to a common step where the prothrombinase complex, comprising the enzyme factor Xa (fXa), the cofactor fVa, Ca2+ and phospholipids, activates the zymogen prothrombin to the protease thrombin. The reaction

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
