Abstract
Factor XII (FXII) is a serine protease zymogen produced by hepatocytes and secreted into plasma. The highly glycosylated coagulation protein consists of six domains and a proline-rich region that regulate activation and function. Activation of FXII results from a conformational change induced by binding ("contact") with negatively charged surfaces. The activated serine protease FXIIa drives both the proinflammatory kallikrein-kinin pathway and...
