Type Excerpt DOI
Functional "In humans, a deficiency in F12 causes alterations in the coagulation process." 10.1016/j.celrep.2014.12.008
Mutation Description "In the case of the whales, early stop codons suggest that the protein is not produced." 10.1016/j.celrep.2014.12.008
Other "Multiple coagulation factors, most of them from the S01 family of serine proteases, have been lost in bowhead and minke whales. One of these proteases, F12, has also been inactivated in dolphins (Supplemental Data File 1), and therefore its loss probably occurred at an early stage of adaptation to the aquatic medium." 10.1016/j.celrep.2014.12.008
