Function
Factor Xa is a vitamin K-dependent glycoprotein that converts prothrombin to thrombin in the presence of factor Va, calcium and phospholipid during blood clotting. -
Tissue specificity
Plasma; synthesized in the liver. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.
Contains 2 EGF-like domains.
Contains 1 Gla (gamma-carboxy-glutamate) domain.
Contains 1 peptidase S1 domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsThe vitamin K-dependent, enzymatic carboxylation of some glutamate residues allows the modified protein to bind calcium.
N- and O-glycosylated.
The activation peptide is cleaved by factor IXa (in the intrinsic pathway), or by factor VIIa (in the extrinsic pathway).
The iron and 2-oxoglutarate dependent 3-hydroxylation of aspartate and asparagine is (R) stereospecific within EGF domains. -
