products description :
Factor XII (F.XII, Hageman factor) is a 76 kDa, single chain glycoprotein produced in the liver. In plasma, F.XII circulates as a protease zymogen at a concentration of approximately 30 ug/ml (400 nM). Upon vascular injury F.XII binds to negatively charged extravascular surfaces such as cartilage and skin, which facilitate activation of the zymogen to the active serine protease. Cleavage of F.XII by kallikrein after residue Arg353 produces the enzyme alphaF.XIIa, consisting of a 28 kDa light chain containing the protease domain, and a 52 kDa heavy chain containing the anionic surface-binding domain. Substrates for surface bound F.XIIa include the zymogens prekallikrein (PK) and factor XI (F.XI) as well as the procofactor high-molecular weight kininogen (HK). The activation of these substrates results in positive feedback activation of F.XII. Further cleavage of alphaF.XIIa by kallikrein produces the 28 kDa fragment betaF.XIIa (Hageman factor fragment). betaF.XIIa has reduced procoagulant activity as it lacks the anionic surface-binding domain, but is capable of fluid-phase activation of PK, factor VII and complement C1. The activity of F.XIIa in plasma is regulated predominantly by C1-Inhibitor, with relatively minor contributions by alpha2antiplasmin, alpha2macroglobulin and antithrombin, even in the presence of therapeutic levels of heparin1-3.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes coagulation factor XII which circulates in blood as a zymogen. This single chain zymogen is converted to a two-chain serine protease with an heavy chain (alpha-factor XIIa) and a light chain. The heavy chain contains two fibronectin-type domains, two epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains, a kringle domain and a proline-rich domain, whereas the light chain contains only a catalytic domain. On activation, further cleavages takes place in the heavy chain, resulting in the production of beta-factor XIIa light chain and the alpha-factor XIIa light chain becomes beta-factor XIIa heavy chain. Prekallikrein is cleaved by factor XII to form kallikrein, which then cleaves factor XII first to alpha-factor XIIa and then to beta-factor XIIa. The active factor XIIa participates in the initiation of blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, and the generation of bradykinin and angiotensin. It activates coagulation factors VII and XI. Defects in this gene do not cause any clinical symptoms and the sole effect is that whole-blood clotting time is prolonged. [provided by RefSeq]
