Q

Phase I: Initiation-

Activation of FVII

A

Vascular damage exposes TF (a membrane-bound protein) to plasma. TF is both a receptor and cofactor for FVII. When the zymogen FVII binds TF it converts to FVIIa and forms the FVIIa/TF complex.

Q

Phase I: Initiation-

After the FVIIa/TF complex activates the FIX and FX zymogens…. then…

A

FXa formed on the TF-bearing cell interacts with cofactor Va to form a prothrombinase complex and generates a very small amount of “priming” thrombin on the surface of TF-bearing cells. FXa remains on the cell surface

Q

Phase I: Initiation-

When does FIXa not interact further with the TF-bearing cell and is no longer involved in Phase I: Initiation

A

After the priming thrombin is formed.
However, if tissue injury occurrs and activates near by platelets, FIXa will diffuse to those platelets, bind to their surface, and (in conjunction with cofactor VIIIa) activate zymogen FX to FXa
