Oral PathologyIn Hemophilia A (Factor VIII deficiency), the prothrombin time (PT) remains normal because PT tests the extrinsic pathway (Factor VII, X, V, II, I) which is unaffected. However, partial thromboplastin time (PTT) is prolonged because it tests the intrinsic pathway where Factor VIII is essential. Bleeding into soft tissues, muscles, and joints is characteristic, and Factor VIII levels are decreased by definition.

Physiology
Endopeptidases, also known as endoproteinases, are enzymes that hydrolyze peptide bonds within the polypeptide chain, breaking down proteins into smaller peptides. Examples include pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. In contrast, exopeptidases, or exoproteinases, cleave peptide bonds at the ends of the polypeptide chain, either at the N-terminal (aminopeptidases) or C-terminal (carboxypeptidases). These enzymes are involved in the final steps of protein digestion and the degradation of small peptides into individual amino acids.
