Product overview
Tissue Factor Activity Assay Kit (Human, Colorimetric) ab108906 is used to determine Human Tissue Factor activity in plasma, tissue and cell culture supernatants.
The tissue factor activity assay protocol measures the ability of lipoprotein TF/FVIIa to activate factor X (FX) to factor Xa. The amidolytic activity of the TF/FVIIa complex is quantitated by the amount of FXa produced using a highly specific FXa substrate releasing a yellow para-nitroaniline (pNA) chromophore. The change in absorbance of the pNA at 405 nm is directly proportional to the TF enzymatic activity.
Tissue factor activity assay protocol summary:
- add reaction mix to wells
- add standards and samples
- incubate for 30 min
- add FXa substrate
- analyze with a microplate reader every 5 min for 25 minThe entire kit may be stored at -20°C for long term storage before reconstitution - Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Notes
Previously called Tissue Factor Human Chromogenic Activity Assay Kit.
The transmembrane protein Tissue factor (TF) is the physiologic trigger of coagulation in normal hemostasis. Tissue factor binds and allosterically activates factor VII (FVII). The TF-FVIIa complex cleaves factor IX and X, leading to thrombin generation. Tissue factor markedly enhances the ability of FVIIa to cleave both macromolecule and small peptidyl substrates.

Function
Initiates blood coagulation by forming a complex with circulating factor VII or VIIa. The [TF:VIIa] complex activates factors IX or X by specific limited protolysis. TF plays a role in normal hemostasis by initiating the cell-surface assembly and propagation of the coagulation protease cascade. -
