Coagulation Factor Va (FVa)

Target
FVa
Molecular classification
Cofactor, Coagulation Factor
01

Overview

Coagulation factor Va (FVa) is the activated form of coagulation factor V and a crucial cofactor in the blood coagulation cascade. It forms a complex with factor Xa (FXa) on phospholipid surfaces to efficiently convert prothrombin to thrombin, a key step in hemostasis. Its activity is regulated by activated protein C (APC). Deficiency leads to bleeding disorders, while resistance to APC-mediated inactivation (e.g., Factor V Leiden mutation) increases the risk of thrombosis.

Mechanism of action

FVa acts as a cofactor for FXa in the prothrombinase complex, accelerating the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. Drugs targeting FVa can inhibit its activity or regulate its activation/inactivation.
