UniProt functional annotation for P13726

UniProt code: P13726.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Initiates blood coagulation by forming a complex with circulating factor VII or VIIa. The [TF:VIIa] complex activates factors IX or X by specific limited proteolysis. TF plays a role in normal hemostasis by initiating the cell-surface assembly and propagation of the coagulation protease cascade. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12652293}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with HSPE; the interaction, inhibited by heparin, promotes the generation of activated factor X and activates coagulation in the presence of activated factor VII. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20634491, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8598903, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9925787}.
Subcellular location: [Isoform 1]: Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12652293}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12652293}.
Subcellular location: [Isoform 2]: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12652293}.
Tissue specificity: Lung, placenta and pancreas. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12652293}.
Induction: TF expression is highly dependent upon cell type. TF can also be induced by the inflammatory mediators interleukin 1 and TNF- alpha, as well as by endotoxin, to appear on monocytes and vascular endothelial cells as a component of cellular immune response. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19168442}.
Similarity: Belongs to the tissue factor family. {ECO:0000305}.
