Prothrombinase is a clotting factor responsible for blood coagulation. 

  • At the site of injury, the blood platelets disintegrate and release a phospholipid, called platelets factor -3 ( platelet thromboplastin)
  • Injured tissues also release a lipoprotein called thromboplastin. 
  • These two factors combine with Ca ions and certain proteins of the blood plasma to form an enzyme called prothrombinase
