Structural Formula Vector Image
Title: Factor V
CAS Registry Number: 9001-24-5
CAS Name: Blood-coagulation factor V
Additional Names: proaccelerin; labile factor; accelerator globulin
Trademarks: Ac-globulin
Literature References: Mol wt above 300,000. Participates in the later stages of blood coagulation. Activated by factor X, q.v., and along with Ca2+ and phospholipid forms a complex which converts prothrombin to thrombin, q.q.v. Accelerates the interaction of prothrombin, thromboplastin and Ca2+ ions: Ware, Seegers, Fed. Proc. 7, 131 (1948). Thrombin produces serum Ac-globulin, accelerin, a far more potent accelerator, from plasma Ac-globulin, apparently by catalytic action: Ware et al., Science 106, 618 (1947); Rapaport et al., Blood 21, 221 (1963).
