'''Tissue factor''', also called '''platelet tissue factor''', '''factor III''', '''thromboplastin''', or '''[[cluster of differentiation|CD142]]''' is a [[protein]] encoded by the '''F3''' [[gene]] present in [[endothelium|subendothelial tissue]] and [[leukocyte]]s. Its role in the clotting process is the initiation of [[thrombin]] formation from the [[zymogen]] [[prothrombin]]. Thromboplastin defines the cascade that leads to the activation of [[factor X]] - the tissue factor pathway. In doing so it has replaced the previously named extrinsic pathway in order to eliminate ambiguity.

The '''F3''' 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.

=== Coagulation ===
[[Image:Coagulation full.svg|thumb|left|300px|The coagulation cascade.]]
TF is the cell surface receptor for the [[serine protease]] factor VIIa.
The best known function of tissue factor is its role in [[blood coagulation]]. The complex of TF with [[factor VII]]a catalyzes the conversion of the inactive protease [[factor X]] into the active protease [[factor Xa]].
Together with factor VIIa, tissue factor forms the tissue factor or extrinsic pathway of coagulation. This is opposed to the intrinsic (amplification) pathway which involves both activated [[factor IX]] and [[factor VIII]]. Both pathways lead to the activation of [[factor X]] (the common pathway) which combines with activated [[factor V]] in the presence of calcium and [[phospholipid]] to produce [[thrombin]] (thromboplastin activity).
{{clear|left}}
=== Cytokine signaling ===
TF is related to a protein family known as the [[cytokine receptor class II family]]. The members of this receptor family are activated by [[cytokines]]. Cytokines are small proteins that can influence the behavior of [[white blood cell]]s. Binding of VIIa to TF has also been found to start signaling processes inside the cell. The signaling function of TF/VIIa plays a role in [[angiogenesis]] and [[apoptosis]].


'''Tissue factor''', also called '''thromboplastin''', '''factor III''' or '''[[cluster of differentiation|CD142]]''' is a [[protein]] present in [[endothelium|subendothelial tissue]], [[platelets]], and [[leukocyte]]s necessary for the initiation of [[thrombin]] formation from the zymogen [[prothrombin]]. Thrombin formation ultimately leads to the [[coagulation]] of [[blood]].

==Structure==
==Structure==
Tissue factor belongs to the [[cytokine receptor]] [[protein superfamily]] and consists of three [[protein domain|domain]]s:<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Muller YA, Ultsch MH, de Vos AM | title = The crystal structure of the extracellular domain of human tissue factor refined to 1.7 Å resolution | journal = Journal of Molecular Biology | volume = 256 | issue = 1 | pages = 144–159 |date=Feb 1996 | pmid = 8609606 | doi = 10.1006/jmbi.1996.0073}}</ref>


The protein structure of TF consists of three domains:
# an extracellular domain, which consists of two [[fibronectin]] type III modules whose hydrophobic cores merge in the domain-domain interface. This serves as a (probably rigid) template for [[factor VIIa]] binding.
# a [[transmembrane]] domain.
# a cytosolic domain of 21 amino acids length inside the cell which is involved in the signaling function of TF.


* 1.  a domain which is located outside the cell, this domain binds factor VIIa. The binding of VIIa to TF occurs via protein-protein interactions by both molecules.
Note that one of factor VIIa's domains, [[GLA domain]], binds in the presence of calcium to negatively charged [[phospholipids]], and this binding greatly enhances factor VIIa binding to tissue factor.
** Factor VIIa is a protein which consists of several domains. One of these domains, the carboxylated GLA domain, binds in the presence of calcium to negatively charged [[phospholipids]]. Binding of VIIa to negatively charged phospholipids greatly enhances the protein-protein binding of VIIa to TF.


* 2.  a domain which crosses the hydrophobic membrane.
== Tissue distribution ==


* 3.  a domain of 21 amino acids length inside the cell which is involved in the signaling function of TF.
Some cells release TF in response to blood vessel damage (see next paragraph) and some do only in response to inflammatory mediators (endothelial cells/macrophages).


==Functions==
TF is expressed by cells which are normally not exposed to flowing blood such as sub-endothelial cells (e.g. [[smooth muscle cell]]s) and cells surrounding blood vessels (e.g. [[fibroblast]]s). This can change when the blood vessel is damaged by for example physical injury or rupture of [[atherosclerotic plaque]]s. Exposure of TF expressing cells during injury allows the complex formation of TF with factor VII. Factor VII and TF form an equal molar complex in the presence of calcium ions and this leads to the activation of factor VII on a membrane surface.
===Coagulation===
TF is the cell surface receptor for the serine [[protease]] factor VIIa.  


The best known function of tissue factor is its role in blood coagulation. The complex of TF with [[factor VII]]a catalyzes the conversion of the inactive protease [[factor X]] into the active protease factor Xa.
The inner surface of the blood vessel consists of endothelial cells. Endothelial cells do not express TF except when they are exposed to inflammatory molecules such as [[tumor necrosis factor-alpha]] (TNF-alpha). Another cell type that expresses TF on the cell surface in inflammatory conditions is the [[monocyte]] (a white blood cell).


Together with factor VII, tissue factor forms the tissue factor or extrinsic pathway of coagulation. This is opposed to the intrinsic (amplification) pathway which involves both activated [[factor IX]] and [[factor VIII]]. Both pathways lead to the activation of [[factor X]] (the common pathway) which combines with activated factor V in the presence of calcium and phospholipid to produce [[thrombin]] (thromboplastin activity).
== Thromboplastin ==


[[Image:Coagulation full.svg|thumb|center|400px|The coagulation cascade.]]
Historically, [[thromboplastin]] was a lab reagent, usually derived from placental sources, used to assay [[prothrombin time]]s (PT time). Thromboplastin, by itself, could activate the extrinsic coagulation pathway. When manipulated in the laboratory, a derivative could be created called partial thromboplastin, which was used to measure the intrinsic pathway. This test is called the [[Partial thromboplastin time|aPTT]], or activated partial thromboplastin time. It was not until much later that the subcomponents of thromboplastin and partial thromboplastin were identified. Thromboplastin contains phospholipids as well as tissue factor, both of which needed in the activation of the extrinsic pathway, whereas partial thromboplastin does not contain tissue factor. Tissue factor is not needed to activate the intrinsic pathway.


===Cytokine===
== Interactions ==
TF is related to a protein family known as the “cytokine receptor class II family”. The members of this receptor family are activated by [[cytokines]]. Cytokines are small proteins that can influence the behavior of white blood cells. Binding of VIIa to TF has also been found to start signaling processes inside the cell. The signaling function of TF/VIIa plays a role in [[angiogenesis]] and [[apoptosis]].

Tissue factor, also called platelet tissue factor, factor III, thromboplastin, or CD142 is a protein encoded by the F3 gene present in subendothelial tissue and leukocytes. Its role in the clotting process is the initiation of thrombin formation from the zymogen prothrombin. Thromboplastin defines the cascade that leads to the activation of factor X - the tissue factor pathway. In doing so it has replaced the previously named extrinsic pathway in order to eliminate ambiguity.

Function

The F3 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.[1] In addition to the membrane-bound tissue factor, soluble form of tissue factor was also found which results from alternatively spliced tissue factor mRNA transcripts, in which exon 5 is absent and exon 4 is spliced directly to exon 6.[2][3]

Coagulation

The coagulation cascade.

TF is the cell surface receptor for the serine protease factor VIIa.

The best known function of tissue factor is its role in blood coagulation. The complex of TF with factor VIIa catalyzes the conversion of the inactive protease factor X into the active protease factor Xa.

Together with factor VIIa, tissue factor forms the tissue factor or extrinsic pathway of coagulation. This is opposed to the intrinsic (amplification) pathway which involves both activated factor IX and factor VIII. Both pathways lead to the activation of factor X (the common pathway) which combines with activated factor V in the presence of calcium and phospholipid to produce thrombin (thromboplastin activity).

Cytokine signaling

TF is related to a protein family known as the cytokine receptor class II family. The members of this receptor family are activated by cytokines. Cytokines are small proteins that can influence the behavior of white blood cells. Binding of VIIa to TF has also been found to start signaling processes inside the cell. The signaling function of TF/VIIa plays a role in angiogenesis and apoptosis.

Structure

Tissue factor belongs to the cytokine receptor protein superfamily and consists of three domains:[4]

  1. an extracellular domain, which consists of two fibronectin type III modules whose hydrophobic cores merge in the domain-domain interface. This serves as a (probably rigid) template for factor VIIa binding.
  2. a transmembrane domain.
  3. a cytosolic domain of 21 amino acids length inside the cell which is involved in the signaling function of TF.

Note that one of factor VIIa's domains, GLA domain, binds in the presence of calcium to negatively charged phospholipids, and this binding greatly enhances factor VIIa binding to tissue factor.

Tissue distribution

Some cells release TF in response to blood vessel damage (see next paragraph) and some do only in response to inflammatory mediators (endothelial cells/macrophages).

TF is expressed by cells which are normally not exposed to flowing blood such as sub-endothelial cells (e.g. smooth muscle cells) and cells surrounding blood vessels (e.g. fibroblasts). This can change when the blood vessel is damaged by for example physical injury or rupture of atherosclerotic plaques. Exposure of TF expressing cells during injury allows the complex formation of TF with factor VII. Factor VII and TF form an equal molar complex in the presence of calcium ions and this leads to the activation of factor VII on a membrane surface.

The inner surface of the blood vessel consists of endothelial cells. Endothelial cells do not express TF except when they are exposed to inflammatory molecules such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Another cell type that expresses TF on the cell surface in inflammatory conditions is the monocyte (a white blood cell).

Thromboplastin

Historically, thromboplastin was a lab reagent, usually derived from placental sources, used to assay prothrombin times (PT time). Thromboplastin, by itself, could activate the extrinsic coagulation pathway. When manipulated in the laboratory, a derivative could be created called partial thromboplastin, which was used to measure the intrinsic pathway. This test is called the aPTT, or activated partial thromboplastin time. It was not until much later that the subcomponents of thromboplastin and partial thromboplastin were identified. Thromboplastin contains phospholipids as well as tissue factor, both of which needed in the activation of the extrinsic pathway, whereas partial thromboplastin does not contain tissue factor. Tissue factor is not needed to activate the intrinsic pathway.

Interactions

Tissue factor has been shown to interact with Factor VII.[5][6]
