Blood clotting factor VIII molecule C014 / 0406
Blood clotting factor VIII, molecular model showing the secondary structure. Factor VIII, also known as anti-haemophilic factor, is an essential blood clotting protein in humans. Defects in factor VIII cause haemophilia A, an inherited condition that causes abnormal bleeding. Factor VIII is present in an inactive form in blood fluid (plasma). It is activated by a cascade of 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 the intricate molecular structure of Blood Clotting Factor VIII, also known as anti-haemophilic factor. The secondary structure of this essential blood clotting protein is beautifully illustrated against a white background, emphasizing its significance in human biology. Factor VIII plays a crucial role in preventing abnormal bleeding by aiding in the formation of fibrin protein fibers that trap blood cells and form clots. However, defects in this vital protein can lead to haemophilia A, an inherited condition characterized by impaired clotting ability. The molecule depicted here represents Factor VIII's inactive form found within plasma, the fluid component of blood. Activation occurs through a cascade of complex reactions initiated by chemicals released at injury sites by cells. This activation process triggers Factor VIII to transform into its active state and fulfill its coagulation function. With glycoprotein characteristics and an elaborate molecular structure, this artwork highlights the biochemistry behind clot formation and underscores the importance of understanding these processes for medical advancements. RAMON ANDRADE 3DCIENCIA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has skillfully captured both the scientific intricacies and aesthetic appeal of this molecule with precision and artistry.
