| 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}. | |
