Explanation:

Prothrombin (factor II) is a vitamin K–dependent plasma protein synthesized in the liver. In the final common coagulation pathway, factor Xa within the prothrombinase complex (factor Va and phospholipid) cleaves an activation peptide (prothrombin fragment 1.2) from prothrombin to yield thrombin, which cleaves fibrinogen to produce fibrin, and activates platelets and factors V, VIII, XI, and XIII to form an insoluble hemostatic plug. Plasma prothrombin activity ranges from about 70% to 130%, and the amount of thrombin formed is directly proportional to the plasma prothrombin concentration.
