How the assay works
Human Factor XII SimpleStep ELISA
employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details.
Assay Specificity
Our SimpleStep ELISA
kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

Factor XII is a 80 kDa plasma serine protease involved in the coagulation cascade. Factor XII is activated by proteolysis and the product, Factor XIIa, goes on to activate Factor XI and prekallikrein in in vitro models of blood cogulation. Its involvement in the beginning of the coagulation cascade is only seen in in vitro studies, and is thought to have no effect on coagulation initiation in vivo. While Factor XII deficiency in humans is asymptomatic, Factor XII plays a role in later stages of clot formation. Deficiency of Factor XII affects the in vitro measurements of partial thromboplastin time in human blood, and its absence decreases the susceptibility of mice to thrombosis.

Factor XII also known as FXII or Hageman factor is a serine protease and a coagulation factor that plays an important role in initiating the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. It has a molecular mass of approximately 80 kDa. The liver primarily synthesizes this protein and it circulates in the blood plasma as an inactive precursor. When activated to Factor XIIa it cleaves and activates other coagulation factors such as Factor XI to propagate the coagulation cascade that helps in blood clot formation.
Biological function summary
This protein helps control blood coagulation processes as part of a larger network of interacting proteins that includes contact activation factors. Factor XII activates not only the coagulation cascade but also pathways involved in fibrinolysis inflammation and bradykinin formation. It triggers the kallikrein-kinin system and leads to the generation of bradykinin a peptide known to induce vascular permeability and inflammation.
Pathways
The involvement of Factor XII spans the intrinsic coagulation pathway and the kallikrein-kinin system. It interacts with several other coagulation factors such as Factor XI and prekallikrein to advance the clotting process. The protein initiates the intrinsic blood coagulation pathway by converting Factor XI to Factor XIa in the presence of negatively charged surfaces. It links to the fibrinolytic pathway and can indirectly activate plasminogen through interactions that generate plasmin.
Factor XII deficiency leads to increased risk of thrombosis even though such deficiency generally shows no major bleeding symptoms. The target links to hereditary angioedema where dysregulation in the kallikrein-kinin system involves premature bradykinin activity. Factor XII associates with C1-inhibitor a protein playing a regulatory role in preventing excessive bradykinin production which can manifest in clinical symptoms seen in hereditary angioedema patients.
