The subunit B of the fibrin stabilizing factor is one of two subunits (A and B) of the coagulation factor XIII . It is encoded by the F13B gene on chromosome 1 in humans. Two subunits of type A and B each form the fibrin stabilizing factor, which is activated during blood clotting and stabilizes the fibrin clumps. The subunit A performs the enzymatic function, while the subunit B probably functions as a carrier molecule in the blood plasma.
