Immunoprecipitation of F3 transfected lysate using anti-F3 monoclonal antibody and Protein A Magnetic Bead, and immunoblotted with F3 MaxPab rabbit polyclonal antibody.
Proximity Ligation Analysis of protein-protein interactions between F7 and F3. HeLa cells were stained with anti-F7 rabbit purified polyclonal 1:1200 and anti-F3 mouse monoclonal antibody 1:50. Each red dot represents the detection of protein-protein interaction complex, and nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue).
This gene encodes coagulation factor III which is a cell surface glycoprotein. This factor enables cells to initiate the blood coagulation cascades, and it functions as the high-affinity receptor for the coagulation factor VII. The resulting complex provides a catalytic event that is responsible for initiation of the coagulation protease cascades by specific limited proteolysis. Unlike the other cofactors of these protease cascades, which circulate as nonfunctional precursors, this factor is a potent initiator that is fully functional when expressed on cell surfaces. There are 3 distinct domains of this factor: extracellular, transmembrane, and cytoplasmic. This protein is the only one in the coagulation pathway for which a congenital deficiency has not been described. [provided by RefSeq
