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.

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.
