Product details
The Factor XIa Assay Kit (ab241037) utilizes the ability of factor XIa to cleave a synthetic substrate to release p-Nitroaniline (pNA) which can be quantitatively measured by a colorimetric assay (OD 405 nm).
The kit is easy-to-use and can detect Factor XIa (as low as 1 mPEU) from plasma and purified protein samples.
This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company and was previously called K973 Factor XIa Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric). K973-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab241037.
The Safety Datasheet for this product has been updated for certain countries. Please check the current version in the Support and downloads section.

Biological function summary
Factor XIa is essential for hemostasis. It forms a part of the intrinsic pathway complex that contributes to the amplification of thrombin generation. This activity strengthens the formation of a stable fibrin clot which is critical to prevent excessive bleeding. Factor XIa is also involved in cellular response mechanisms beyond coagulation such as inflammatory processes.
Pathways
Factor XIa is a significant component of the intrinsic coagulation pathway and the contact activation system. It works closely with proteins like Factor IX and kallikrein facilitating the transformation of inactive proteins to their active states in a stepwise manner. These interactions support hemostatic balance and help maintain proper clot formation while preventing thrombosis.
