===Nomenclature=== The usage of [[Roman numeral]]s rather than eponyms or systematic names was agreed upon during annual conferences (starting in 1955) of hemostasis experts. In 1962, consensus was achieved on the numbering of factors IβXII.<ref>{{Cite journal |vauthors=Wright IS |date=February 1962 |title=The nomenclature of blood clotting factors |journal=Canadian Medical Association Journal |volume=86 |issue=8 |pages=373β74 |pmc=1848865 |pmid=14008442}}</ref> This committee evolved into the present-day International Committee on Thrombosis and Hemostasis (ICTH). Assignment of numerals ceased in 1963 after the naming of Factor XIII. The names Fletcher Factor and Fitzgerald Factor were given to further coagulation-related proteins, namely [[prekallikrein]] and [[high-molecular-weight kininogen]], respectively.<ref name=Giangrande/> Factor VI{{Citation needed|date=December 2018}} is unassigned, as accelerin was found to be activated Factor V.
