Number and/or name | Function | Associated genetic disorders |
I. (Fibrinogen) | Forms clot (fibrin) | Congenital Afibrogenmia Familial Renal Amyloidosis
|
II. (Prothrombin) | Thrombin or IIa activates I, V, VII, VIII, XI, XIII, Protein C and platelets
| Thrombophilia
|
III. Tissue factor | Co-factor of VIIa |
|
IV. Calcium | Required for coagulation factors to bind to phospholipid (formerly known as factor IV) | Hypocalcemia is not associated with clotting problem because it has other more serious effects. |
V. (Proaccelerin) | Co-factor of X with which it forms the Prothrombinase complex | Activated protein C resistance
|
VI | Unassigned – old name of Factor Va |
|
VII. (Stable factor, proconvertin) | Activates IX, X | congenital proconvertin/factor VII deficiency |
VIII. (Anti Hemophilic Factor A) | Co-factor of IX with which it forms the TENASE complex | Haemophilia A |
IX. (Antihemophilic factor B or Christmas factor) | Activates X: forms TENASE complex with factor VIII | Haemophilia B |
X. (Stuart-Prower factor) | Forms Prothrombinase complex with factor V and converts Prothrombin or II into Thrombin or IIa. | Congenital Factor X deficiency |

XIII. (Fibrin-Stabilizing Factor) | Congenital Factor XIIIa/b deficiency |
|
XIV. Von Willebrand factor or vWF | Binds to VIII, mediates platelet adhesion | Von Willebrand disease
|
XV. Prekallikrein(Fletcher factor) | Activates XII and prekallikrein; cleaves HMWK | Prekallikrein/Fletcher Factor deficiency |

|
XXVIII. Cancer procoagulant | Pathological factor X activation | Thrombophilia |
