Comment typeDescription
DiseaseFactor XIII subunit B deficiency (FA13BD) [MIM:613235]: An autosomal recessive hematologic disorder characterized by a life-long bleeding tendency, impaired wound healing and spontaneous abortion in affected women. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11313256, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8324218}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
FunctionThe B chain of factor XIII is not catalytically active, but is thought to stabilize the A subunits and regulate the rate of transglutaminase formation by thrombin.
SimilarityContains 10 Sushi (CCP/SCR) domains. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00302}.
