F5, known as coagulation factor V or plasma factor V, is an essential protein for proper blood clotting and hemostasis following vascular injury. As an inactive procofactor, F5 circulates until activated through proteolysis, whereupon it assembles into a calcium ion-dependent complex on cell surfaces to generate thrombin, the central enzyme of blood coagulation.
