Rabbit anti-Human F5 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P12259

Target Species

Human

Target Name

F5

Target Full Name

Coagulation factor V

Target Function

Central regulator of hemostasis. It serves as a critical cofactor for the prothrombinase activity of factor Xa that results in the activation of prothrombin to thrombin.

Target Involvement

Factor V deficiency (FA5D); Thrombophilia due to activated protein C resistance (THPH2); Budd-Chiari syndrome (BDCHS); Ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR); Pregnancy loss, recurrent, 1 (RPRGL1)

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted.

Target Protein Families

Multicopper oxidase family

Target Tissue Specificity

Plasma.

Target Research Area

Cardiovascular

Target Synonyms

Activated protein C cofactor; APC cofactor; coagulation factor V (proaccelerin; labile factor); Coagulation factor V; coagulation factor V jinjiang A2 domain; Coagulation factor V light chain; F5; FA5_HUMAN; Factor V Leiden; FactorV; FVL; Labile factor; PCCF; Proaccelerin; proaccelerin; labile factor; Protein C cofactor; RPRGL1; THPH2

Target Background

This gene encodes an essential cofactor of the blood coagulation cascade. This factor circulates in plasma, and is converted to the active form by the release of the activation peptide by thrombin during coagulation. This generates a heavy chain and a light chain which are held together by calcium ions. The activated protein is a cofactor that participates with activated coagulation factor X to activate prothrombin to thrombin. Defects in this gene result in either an autosomal recessive hemorrhagic diathesis or an autosomal dominant form of thrombophilia, which is known as activated protein C resistance.
