Product details:
Mouse Tissue Factor ELISA Kit (ab214091) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Tissue Factor protein in cell culture extracts, cell culture supernatant, tissue extracts, and urine. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse Tissue Factor with 3.7 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology 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. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
Tissue factor plays a role in normal hemostasis by initiating the cell-surface assembly and propagation of the coagulation protease cascade. Tissue Factor initiates blood coagulation by forming a complex with circulating factor VII or VIIa. The tissue factor-VIIa complex activates factors IX or X by specific limited protolysis.

Tissue Factor also known as coagulation factor III or CD142 is an important player in the blood coagulation process. This protein with a molecular mass of approximately 47 kDa is a transmembrane glycoprotein. It is expressed widely in various tissues including the lungs heart and brain and plays an important role in initiating the coagulation cascade when exposed to blood. In endothelial cells tissue factor is generally not present unless these cells are in a state of disturbance supporting its role as a primary defense mechanism against vascular injury.
Biological function summary
Tissue factor acts as a cofactor for factor VIIa forming a complex that rapidly catalyzes the activation of factor X to factor Xa. This catalytic action ultimately leads to fibrin formation which is essential for clotting. Tissue Factor (TF) is part of the extrinsic pathway of the coagulation cascade and is fundamental in the generation of a hemostatic response to tissue injury. By regulating thrombin generation through its interaction with other coagulation factors tissue factor plays an important role in maintaining hemostatic balance.
Pathways
Tissue factor is integral in the extrinsic pathway of coagulation which works closely with the intrinsic pathway to ensure effective hemostasis. It complexes with factor VIIa and triggers downstream effects involving proteins like factor X and thrombin. Tissue factor forms a bridge between cellular injury responses and the blood coagulation system linking these two significant physiological processes. The interaction with these proteins highlights its central role in hemostatic pathways and highlights its significance in the coagulation network.
Tissue factor is associated with conditions like thrombosis and cardiovascular diseases where its expression can become dysregulated. Abnormal activation of tissue factor contributes directly to the pathological clot formation seen in thrombosis. It is also implicated in cancer-related coagulopathy where it can facilitate tumor-associated thrombosis by interacting with cancer cell surfaces. Additionally in such diseases the interplay between tissue factor and thrombin becomes important as it affects disease progression and the severity of clot-related complications.
