| 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}. | |
