Abstract

The Vmax/Km (microM -1 min -1.) for bovine factor X activation by bovine factor IXa alpha, in the presence of sufficient [Ca2+] to saturate the initial reaction rate, was 0.007. When factor IXa beta was substituted for factor IXa alpha in this reaction, the Vmax/Km decreased to 0.001, suggesting that factor IXa alpha was a more potent catalyst under these conditions. When phospholipid (PL) vesicles (egg phosphatidylcholine/bovine brain phosphatidylserine, 4:1 w/w) were added to these same systems, at levels sufficient to saturate their effects, little change in the Vmax/Km occurred when factor IXa alpha was the enzyme. However, when factor IXa beta was employed, the Vmax/Km dramatically increased to 0.023, demonstrating that factor IXa beta responded to PL addition to a much greater extent than did factor IXa alpha. Upon addition of thrombin-activated factor VIII (factor VIIIa,t), at a suboptimal level, to the above systems, the Vmax/Km for factor X activation by factor IXa alpha/Ca2+/PL/factor VIIIa,t was increased to 1.0, whereas this parameter for factor X activation by factor IXa beta/Ca2+/PL/factor VIIIa,t under the same conditions was found to be 27.3. During these studies, it was discovered that the factor X which became...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
