Factor X. Coagulation factor X (EC 3.4.21.6), or Stuart factor, is an enzyme of the coagulation cascade, encoded in humans by F10 gene. [5] It is a serine endopeptidase (protease group S1, PA clan). Factor X is synthesized in the liver and requires vitamin K for its synthesis.
Factor Xa inhibitors are newer anticoagulants that don’t require people to take frequent blood tests. You take factor Xa inhibitors to prevent or treat blood clots.
The prothrombinase enzyme complex consists of factor Xa (a serine protease) and factor Va (a protein cofactor). The complex assembles on negatively charged phospholipid membranes in the presence of calcium ions.
Factor Xa inhibitors are a type of anticoagulant, or blood thinner. They’re a short- and long-term therapy for venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and...
Factor Xa inhibitors are a type of anticoagulant that work by selectively and reversibly blocking the activity of clotting factor Xa, preventing clot formation. They affect both factor Xa within the blood and within a preexisting clot.
Three factor Xa inhibitors have been studied in the treatment of venous thromboembolism, both for acute therapy and as extended therapy to prevent recurrent events. Rivaroxaban, apixaban, and edoxaban have all proven to be effective in Phase III ...
Regulated synthesis of FX by innate immune cells controls macrophage function in extravascular milieus. This brief review in conjunction with the symposium ‘Factor X: From Thrombokinase to Oral Anti-coagulants and Beyond’ will summarize the role of coagulation factor (F) X in the extrinsic coagulation pathway.
Activated factor Xa (FXa) is traditionally known as an important player in the coagulation cascade responsible for thrombin generation. Long considered a passive bystander, it is now evident that FXa exerts direct effects on a wide variety of cell types via activation of its two main receptors, protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) and PAR-2.

Factor Xa (FXa) plays a key role in haemostasis, it is a central part of the blood coagulation cascade which catalyzes the production of thrombin and leads to clot formation and wound closure. Therefore, FXa is an attractive target for the development of new anticoagulant agents.
