Specificity
Recognizes Factor VII, a serine protease found circulating in the blood. It initiates the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation in conjunction with tissue factor. Tissue factor is found on the outside of blood vessels. When the vessels is damaged, tissue factor is exposed to the blood and circulating Factor VII. Once bound to tissue factor, Factor VII is activated by different proteases and converts Factor IX to IXa. Factor VII deficiency is a rare hereditary hemorrhagic disease. Symptoms range from mild to severe. Clone RFF-VII/2 may be used as a capture antibody in immunoassays for Factor VII in combination with clone RFF-VII/1 as a detection reagent.
