Blood coagulation
| Definition | Protein involved in blood clotting, a complex enzymatic cascade, in which the activated form of one factor catalyzes the activation of the next factor. Both, the extrinsic clotting pathway, induced by a damaged surface, and the intrinsic pathway, induced by a trauma, converge in a final common pathway to form cross-linked fibrin clots. |
