Arterial and venous thromboses are major contributors to coagulation-associated
morbidity and mortality. Greater understanding of mechanisms leading to thrombus
formation and stability is expected to lead to improved treatment strategies.
Factor XIII (FXIII) is a transglutaminase found in plasma and platelets. During
thrombosis, activated FXIII cross-links fibrin and promotes thrombus stability.
Recent studies have provided new information about FXIII activity during
coagulation and its effects on clot composition and function. These findings
reveal newly-recognized roles for FXIII in thrombosis. Herein, we review
published literature on FXIII biology and effects on fibrin structure and
stability, epidemiologic data associating FXIII with thrombosis, and evidence
from animal models indicating FXIII has an essential role in determining thrombus
stability, composition, and size.
