F13A

MIM.134570 6p25-p24

Function

- subunit A functions as an intracellular enzyme in platelets and monocytes/macrophages
- cytoskeletal remodelling associated with the activation stages of platelets
- mainly localised in the cytoplasm, in association with cytoskeletal filaments, but at a relatively early stage of macrophage differentiation it also appears transiently in the nucleus

Expression profile

- platelets
- megakaryocytes
- monocytes/macrophages
- papillary dermal dendrocytes

Pathology entities:

- congenital factor XIII deficiency
