proaccelerin

[¦prō·ak′sel·ə·rən]
(biochemistry)
A labile procoagulant in normal plasma but deficient in the blood of patients with parahemophilia; essential for rapid conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. Also known as factor V; labile factor.

In the present study, we demonstrate the genotyping accuracy of a quadruplex high-resolution amplicon-melting assay for mutations in F55 [coagulation factor V (proaccelerin, labile factor)] (1691G>A), F2 [coagulation factor II (thrombin)] (20210G>A), and MTHFR (1298A>C and 677C>T) genes.
