Anatomical context of F13a1

  • We revealed the expression of FXIIIA in the epiphyseal growth plate, where FXIIIA appears first intracellularly in the zone of proliferation/maturation, and remains intra- and extracellularly throughout the hypertrophic zone [7].
  • We conclude, that coagulation factor FXIIIA is expressed by chondrocytes of embryonic mouse long bone cartilages in a strictly regulated pattern, which correlates with chondrocyte differentiation and matrix mineralization [7].
  • At day 7 post-BLM, 48% of CD11b+ BAMC displayed features of DC differentiation, as judged by dendritic morphology, expression of class II MHC, 33D1, Factor XIIIa, CD80, and CD86 antigens, and the ability to support a primary allogeneic lymphocyte response (MLR) [8].
  • Double-labelling experiments showed that a proportion (approximately 20%) of PKC-beta+ dendritic cells also expressed factor XIIIa [9].
  • Expression of the A subunit of factor XIII is restricted to megakaryocytes in the bone marrow cavity, and factor XIIIa is abundant in platelets that probably provide the major source for factor XIII in plasma [10].
