UniProt functional annotation for P00743

UniProt code: P00743.

Organism: Bos taurus (Bovine).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Artiodactyla; Ruminantia; Pecora; Bovidae; Bovinae; Bos.
 
Function: Factor Xa is a vitamin K-dependent glycoprotein that converts prothrombin to thrombin in the presence of factor Va, calcium and phospholipid during blood clotting.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=Selective cleavage of Arg-|-Thr and then Arg-|-Ile bonds in prothrombin to form thrombin.; EC=3.4.21.6;
Activity regulation: Inhibited by SERPINA5. {ECO:0000250}.
Subunit: The two chains are formed from a single-chain precursor by the excision of two Arg residues and are held together by 1 or more disulfide bonds. Forms a heterodimer with SERPINA5 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Secreted.
Ptm: The vitamin K-dependent, enzymatic carboxylation of some glutamate residues allows the modified protein to bind calcium.
Ptm: N- and O-glycosylated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1059093, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8243461}.
Ptm: The activation peptide is cleaved by factor IXa (in the intrinsic pathway), or by factor VIIa (in the extrinsic pathway). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1059122}.
Ptm: The iron and 2-oxoglutarate dependent 3-hydroxylation of aspartate and asparagine is (R) stereospecific within EGF domains. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:6688526}.
Miscellaneous: Calcium also binds, with stronger affinity to another site, beyond the GLA domain.
Similarity: Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00274}.
