© 2019 International Union of Crystallography. Coagulation factor XII (FXII) is a key initiator of the contact pathway, which contributes to inflammatory pathways. FXII circulates as a zymogen, which when auto-activated forms factor XIIa (FXIIa). Her...

Plasma kallikrein structure reveals apple domain disc rotated conformation compared to factor XI (2019)
Journal Article
Li, C., Voos, K. M., Pathak, M., Hall, G., McCrae, K. R., Dreveny, I., Li, R., & Emsley, J. (2019). Plasma kallikrein structure reveals apple domain disc rotated conformation compared to factor XI. Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 17(5), 759-770. https://doi.org/10.1111/jth.14418

Background
Plasma prekallikrein (PK) and factor XI (FXI) are apple domain‐containing serine proteases that when activated to PKa and FXIa cleave substrates kininogen, factor XII, and factor IX, respectively, directing plasma coagulation, bradykinin...
