Coagulation Factor V Proteins and Enzymes

The F5 gene encodes a 2,224 amino acid long, 251 kDA coagulation factor V protein that is critical in the regulation of homeostasis. Additionally, F5 functions as a cofactor for the prothrombinase activity of factor Xa which results in the initiation of prothrombin to thrombin. F5 participates in blood coagulation signaling pathways, the blood clot...
