Factor V (pronounced factor five) is a protein of the coagulation system rarely referred to as proaccelerin or labile factor. In contrast to most other coagulation factors it is not enzymatically active but functions as a cofactor. Deficiency leads to predisposition for hemorrhage while some mutations (most notably factor V Leiden) predispose for thrombosis.
