clotting factor
Hemostasis protein component
A clotting factor is any of several proteins in blood that work together in a cascade to form clots and stop bleeding.
Hemophilia results from deficiency in specific clotting factors.
Medical contexts identify them by Roman numerals: Factor VIII deficiency causes hemophilia A.
