[Regulation of Membrane-Dependent Reactions of Blood Coagulation]
Abstract:
All major coagulation reactions do not occurs in blood plasma itself, these processes are actually two-dimensional reactions localized to thephospholipid membranes. Almost all blood cells, lipoproteins, and microparticles provide assembly of protein complexes. A central role among them are played by platelets and platelet-derived microparticles. On their membranes occurs the most important coagulation reactions such as activation of prothrombin by prothrombin complex, activation of factor X by complexes intrinsic and extrinsic tenase. This reactions are important for processes activation of the contact path coagulation, activation factor XI by thrombin, appearance of enzymatic activity of factor VIIa etc. This review is focused on the membrane-dependent reactions, here are discussed mechanisms and regulation these reactions and the possible prospects of the study.

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Pathways of Hemostasis
The Extrinsic Pathway
The extrinsic pathway of coagulation is typically initiated by tissue damage that exposes blood to tissue factor (TF), a protein released by the damaged tissue cells outside the blood vessels—this interaction with TF triggers biochemical reactions involving specific clotting factors. The key player here is Factor VII, which...
Introduction to Hemostasis
The three phases of hemostasis involve many clotting factors present in plasma and several substances released by platelets and injured tissue cells. It is a fast, localized,...
Coagulation
During the coagulation phase, clotting factors, or procoagulants, play a vital role in initiating and progressing the coagulation cascade. This cascade is a series of reactions...
