Q

Functions of thrombin:

A

● Activates cofactors V and VIII and factor XI by a positive feedback mechanism
● Activates factor XIII
● Initiates platelet aggregation
● Activates the protein C pathway

19
Q

How does protein c activated

A

Thrombomodulin-Thrombin Complex

Q

Activation of Protein C: destroys

A

Destroys FV and FVIII

21
Q

Thrombin-thrombomodulin also activates

A

TAFI

22
Q

Are named the prothrombin group because of their structural resemblance to prothrombin

A

Vitamin K-Dependent Prothrombin Group

Q

Is a quinone found in green leafy vegetables and is produced by the intestinal organisms

A

Vitamin K

24
Q

a quinone found in green leafy vegetables and is produced by the intestinal organisms what organism?

A

Bacteroides fragilis and Escherichia coli

25
Q

Catalyzes an essential posttranslational modification of the prothrombin group (glutamic acid is modified to y-carboxyglutamic acid when a second carboxyl group is added to the y carbon)

A

Vitamin K

26
Q

Proteins Induced by Vitamin K Antagonists (PIVKA) factors also known as

A

des-y-carboxyl proteins

27
Q
