[Effects of Vipera berus venom on the activity of some coagulation factors]. 1981

C Bruno, and R Cuppini, and N Valora

The activity of some clotting factors of human blood after incubation at 37 degrees C with Vipera berus venom (400 microgram/ml of plasma) has been measured. Factor V, initially, is activated by venom, but rapidly its activity decreases, becoming lower of that of controls and it exhausts oneself almost fully after 2 hours. Changes in the prothrombin and fibrinogen activity by venom action have not been noted.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011516 Prothrombin A plasma protein that is the inactive precursor of thrombin. It is converted to thrombin by a prothrombin activator complex consisting of factor Xa, factor V, phospholipid, and calcium ions. Deficiency of prothrombin leads to hypoprothrombinemia. Coagulation Factor II,Factor II,Blood Coagulation Factor II,Differentiation Reversal Factor,Factor II, Coagulation,Factor, Differentiation Reversal,II, Coagulation Factor
D005165 Factor V Heat- and storage-labile plasma glycoprotein which accelerates the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin in blood coagulation. Factor V accomplishes this by forming a complex with factor Xa, phospholipid, and calcium (prothrombinase complex). Deficiency of factor V leads to Owren's disease. Coagulation Factor V,Proaccelerin,AC Globulin,Blood Coagulation Factor V,Factor 5,Factor Five,Factor Pi,Factor V, Coagulation
D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults

D014757 Viper Venoms Venoms from SNAKES of the viperid family. They tend to be less toxic than elapid or hydrophid venoms and act mainly on the vascular system, interfering with coagulation and capillary membrane integrity and are highly cytotoxic. They contain large amounts of several enzymes, other factors, and some toxins.
