About Factor X.

"Factor X" (coagulation factor X) is an active drug substance and biological replacement agent rather than an independent therapeutic drug class, falling under the broader pharmacologic class of human blood coagulation factors.

It acts by restoring plasma levels of factor X, an essential vitamin K–dependent serine protease zymogen in the common pathway that is activated into factor Xa to convert prothrombin into thrombin and generate a stable fibrin clot.

Therapies utilizing coagulation factor X are primarily indicated for the prevention and on-demand treatment of bleeding episodes and perioperative management in patients with hereditary factor X deficiency.

In clinical practice, this entity is distinct from "Factor Xa inhibitors," which represent an anticoagulant drug class designed to inhibit the activated form of the enzyme.
