Antihemophilic factor (also know as factor VIII) is a protein found in blood plasma which is involved in the blood clotting process. Along with Factor V it is one of the two factors doesn't have enzymatic ability. It acts instead by forming a complex with Factor IXa and Factor X in order to fully activate Factor X. This has the effect of increasing the rate of the clotting reaction[1].
