Description

Other Name: Coagulation factor X (EC 3.4.21.6;Stuart factor;Stuart-Prower factor) [Cleaved into: Factor X light chain; Factor X heavy chain; Activated factor Xa heavy chain]

Background: catalytic activity:Selective cleavage of Arg-|-Thr and then Arg-|-Ile bonds in prothrombin to form thrombin.,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.,online information:Factor X entry,PTM:N- and O-glycosylated.,PTM:The activation peptide is cleaved by factor IXa (in the intrinsic pathway), or by factor VIIa (in the extrinsic pathway).,PTM:The iron and 2-oxoglutarate dependent 3-hydroxylation of aspartate and asparagine is (R) stereospecific within EGF domains.,PTM:The vitamin K-dependent, enzymatic carboxylation of some glutamate residues allows the modified protein to bind calcium.,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.,similarity:Contains 1 Gla (gamma-carboxy-glutamate) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 peptidase S1 domain.,similarity:Contains 2 EGF-like domains.,subunit:The two chains are formed from a single-chain precursor by the excision of two Arg residues and are held together by 1 or more disulfide bonds.,tissue specificity:Plasma; synthesized in the liver.,
