Tissue Factor/VIIa in Thrombosis and Cancer
Abstract
Tissue factor (TF) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that functions as a receptor and cofactor for activated factor VII (factor VIIa) to initiate blood coagulation. Although TF has been characterized best for its role in blood coagulation, recent studies have suggested a role for the molecule in physiologic processes that are distinct from hemostasis. Recently, this molecule has been shown to induce cellular signaling and promote angiogenesis and tumor metastasis (16).
