Stabilization of the fibrin clot depends on plasma factor __________, which converts hydrogen bonds to covalent bonds by transamination.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stabilization of the fibrin clot depends on factor XIII, also known as fibrin-stabilizing factor, which cross-links fibrin monomers through the formation of covalent bonds by transamidation. Factors X, XI, and XII are involved in the clotting cascade, but not in the stabilization of the fibrin clot.
