Chemerin is a chemoattractant and adipokine that circulates in blood as inactive pro-chemerin (chem163S). Chem163S is activated by a series of C-terminal proteolytic cleavages resulting in diverse chemerin forms with different levels of activity. We screened a panel of proteases in the coagulation, fibrinolytic, and inflammatory cascades to identify those that process prochemerin in plasma. Factor XIa (FXIa) cleaved chem163S, generating a novel chemerin form, chem162R, as an intermediate product, and chem158K, as the final product. Processing at Arg162 was not required for cleavage at Lys158 or regulation of chemerin bioactivity. Contact phase activation of human platelet-poor plasma by kaolin led to cleavage of chem163S, which was undetectable in FXI-depleted plasma and markedly enhanced in platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Contact phase activation by polyphosphate in PRP resulted in 75% cleavage of chem163S. This cleavage was partially inhibited by hirudin, which blocks thrombin activation of FXI. After activation of plasma, levels of the most potent form of chemerin, chem157S, as well as inactive chem155A, increased. Plasma levels of chem163S in FXI-deficient patients were significantly higher compared with a matched control group (916 10 ng/mL vs 5863 ng/mL, n58; P
