  1. factor X

    Factor X, also known as Stuart-Prower factor, is one of the serine proteases of the coagulation system in the human body. It plays a vital role in blood clotting and inflammation by catalyzing the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, which in turn catalyzes the transformation of fibrinogen into fibrin, leading to clot formation. Deficiency or abnormal function of Factor X can lead to bleeding disorders such as hemophilia.
