What clotting factor synthesized in the spleen?

The spleen is primarily involved in filtering blood and managing immune responses rather than synthesizing clotting factors. However, it does play a role in the recycling of iron from hemoglobin and the removal of old or damaged red blood cells. The primary site for the synthesis of clotting factors is the liver, where most of the clotting factors, including fibrinogen and prothrombin, are produced. Thus, no significant clotting factor is synthesized in the spleen.
