Blood clotting protein

Blood clotting protein. Computer molecular model of Factor VIII (antihaemophilic globulin), which is a protein that helps to clot blood after an injury. Absence of Factor VIII can lead to haemophilia, an inherited condition which causes abnormal bleeding. The Factor VIII molecule is extremely large and complex. Factor VIII is present in an inactive form in blood fluid (plasma). It is activated by complex reactions initiated by chemicals released by cells at injury sites. It helps to form fibrin protein fibres which trap blood cells to form a clot

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer molecular model of Factor VIII, also known as antihaemophilic globulin. This vital protein plays a crucial role in the process of blood clotting after an injury occurs. The absence of Factor VIII can result in haemophilia, an inherited condition characterized by abnormal bleeding tendencies. The complexity and size of the Factor VIII molecule are truly remarkable. Found in an inactive form within the plasma, it undergoes activation through intricate reactions triggered by chemicals released from cells at sites of injury. Once activated, this protein aids in the formation of fibrin protein fibres that ensnare blood cells and eventually form a clot. This stunning illustration not only highlights the structural intricacies and physiological significance of Factor VIII but also sheds light on its importance within medicine and biochemistry fields. It serves as a reminder that understanding these molecular structures is essential for comprehending various medical conditions such as haemophilia. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this single molecule's structure with their exceptional computer artwork. Through this image, we gain insight into the world of haematology and appreciate how proteins like Factor VIII contribute to our overall health and well-being.
