Abstract excerpt
Coagulation factor XIII (FXIII) is the main stabilizer of the fibrin clot. It circulates in plasma as a tetramer of two A-subunits and two B-subunits. Under physiological conditions, FXIII-A exists as a dimer (FXIII-A2). The interactions between the FXIII-A-subunits that stabilize the FXIII-A2 dimer are not fully understood. We therefore designed a systematic approach to identify amino acid residues crucial for...
