Blood coagulation factor VIII: An overview

Abstract: Factor VIII (FVIII) functions as a co-factor in the blood coagulation cascade for the proteolytic activation of factor X by factor IXa. Deficiency of FVIII causes hemophilia A, the most commonly inherited bleeding disorder. This review highlights current knowledge on selected aspects of FVIII in which both the scientist and the clinician should be interested.

“…Deficiency of human coagulation factors VIII and IX leads to haemophilia A and haemophilia B respectively [54], [55].CHO cell line derived recombinant human factor VIII containing 1438 amino acids provided a temporary replacement for people suffering with haemophilia A [55] and recombinant factor IX containing 415 amino acids controlled bleeding events in patients with haemophilia B [56]. A unique haemostatic agent derived from BHK cells, Recombinant factor VIIa containing 406 amino acids got approval for treating the patients who acquired antibodies to human factor VIII and IX and people with congenital bleeding abnormalities [57], [58].…”

“…: 260 kDa), essential in the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. The functional absence of FVIII results in a severe X-linked bleeding disorder: haemophilia A. FVIII acts as a cofactor in the Ca 2+ -and phospholipid-dependent conversion of Factor X to Factor Xa by activated Factor IX (Bhopale and Nanda, 2003). Factor VIII consists of a light chain (m.w.…”

“…The gene of FVIII is located at the tip of the long arm of X chromosome. It spans over 180 kb and comprises 26 exons, which encode a polypeptide chain of 2351 amino acids (3). The severity of the resultant bleeding diathesis depends on the FVIII levels witch is associated with the mutation (4).…”
