Stimulators of coagulation: All factors in the coagulation cascade. [3] While the endothelium does produce some factor VIII, the majority of factor VIII is produced in the liver. [4] Inhibitors of coagulation: Inactivate an enormous variety of proteinases α2-macroglobulin; α1-antitrypsin; Antithrombin III; Protein S; Protein C
Factor VIII is produced in the liver's sinusoidal cells and endothelial cells outside the liver throughout the body. This protein circulates in the bloodstream in an inactive form, bound to another molecule called von Willebrand factor , until an injury that damages blood vessels occurs. [ 8 ]
The liver is responsible for the production of the vast majority of coagulation factors. In patients with liver disease, international normalized ratio (INR) can be used as a marker of liver synthetic function as it includes factor VII, which has the shortest half life (2–6 hours) of all coagulation factors measured in INR. An elevated INR in ...
Fibrinogen (coagulation factor I) is a glycoprotein complex, produced in the liver, [1] that circulates in the blood of all vertebrates. [2] During tissue and vascular injury, it is converted enzymatically by thrombin to fibrin and then to a fibrin-based blood clot. Fibrin clots function primarily to occlude blood vessels to stop bleeding ...
Factor XI (FXI) is produced by the liver and circulates as a homo-dimer in its inactive form. [9] The plasma half-life of FXI is approximately 52 hours. The zymogen factor is activated into factor XIa by factor XIIa (FXIIa), thrombin, and FXIa itself; due to its activation by FXIIa, FXI is a member of the "contact pathway" (which includes HMWK, prekallikrein, factor XII, factor XI, and factor IX).
Factor XI (FXI) is a serine protase produced by the liver and circulates in its inactive form. [8] Deficiency in factor XI is known to cause hemophilia C. [9] Factor XIIa is another plasma protein that is involved in the activation of zymogen factor is activated into factor XIa. [10] This activation is important to the coagulation cascade.

The action of the factor is impeded by tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), which is released almost immediately after initiation of coagulation. Factor VII, which was discovered around 1950, is vitamin K-dependent and produced in the liver. Use of warfarin or similar anticoagulants decreases hepatic synthesis of FVII. [citation needed]
