Product details

Human Factor XIII ELISA Kit ab108836 is a sandwich ELISA to measure Human Factor XIII in serum, plasma, cerebral spinal fluid (CSF), saliva, urine, milk with a sensitivity of 1.5 ng/ml.

How the assay works

A Factor XIII specific antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates and blocked. Standards or test samples are added to the wells and subsequently a Factor XIII specific biotinylated detection antibody is added and then followed by washing with wash buffer. Streptavidin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with wash buffer. TMB is then used to visualize Streptavidin-Peroxidase enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by Streptavidin-Peroxidase to produce a blue color product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is directly proportional to the amount of Factor XIII captured in plate.
The entire kit may be stored at -20°C for long term storage before reconstitution - Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Assay Specificity

Our ELISA kits are rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility. Please check the protocol booklet for more details

Factor XIIIa also known as Factor 13a Factor XIII or Factor 13 is an enzyme that plays an important role in blood coagulation. Its mass is approximately 83 kDa. This enzyme is part of the transglutaminase family and is predominantly found in plasma and platelets. Factor XIIIa becomes active when thrombin and calcium ions cleave its A subunits converting it from an inactive zymogen known simply as Factor XIII or Factor 13 to its active form. The best assays for Factor XIIIa often measure its transglutaminase activity which facilitates the cross-linking of fibrin stabilizing blood clots.
Biological function summary

Factor XIIIa is important for hemostasis facilitating the final stages of blood clot formation by cross-linking fibrin polymers. This enzyme does not function in isolation; it forms a tetrameric complex with two A subunits and two B subunits. The active form Factor XIIIa catalyzes the formation of covalent bonds between glutamine and lysine residues in fibrin chains. This enhances the mechanical strength and resistance of the clot preventing premature degradation.

Pathways

Factor XIIIa is part of the coagulation pathway specifically involved in the stabilization of fibrin in the final steps of the cascade. It interacts closely with proteins like fibrinogen and thrombin as these proteins are essential in the conversion of Factor XIII to Factor XIIIa and in clot formation. Factor XIIIa also plays a role in the wound healing process by stabilizing the ECM (extracellular matrix) through cross-linking fibrin fibronectin and collagen.

Factor XIIIa deficiency can lead to bleeding diathesis a condition characterized by poor clot stability and prolonged bleeding. This deficiency is often congenital and involves reduced levels or activity of Factor XIII. Conversely overactivity or dysregulation of Factor XIIIa may contribute to thrombotic disorders where abnormal clot formation can lead to conditions like deep vein thrombosis. Clinically understanding Factor XIIIa interactions especially its functional relationships with fibrinogen and thrombin is critical in managing these bleeding and thrombotic disorders.

Product protocols

Target data

Factor XIII is activated by thrombin and calcium ion to a transglutaminase that catalyzes the formation of gamma-glutamyl-epsilon-lysine cross-links between fibrin chains, thus stabilizing the fibrin clot. Also cross-link alpha-2-plasmin inhibitor, or fibronectin, to the alpha chains of fibrin.
