Gene Information

human ... TFPI(7035)

General description

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is a serine proteinase inhibitor. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 2q32. The encoded protein contains three repetitive tandem kunitz-type domains. Domain d1 is involved in binding to the VIIa/TP complex and domain d2 participates in the inhibition of factor Xa. The function of the third domain remains to be characterized. The protein is synthesized in the vascular endothelium.

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor precursor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)

Application

Anti-TFPI antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), also referred to as EPI, down regulates tissue factor initiated blood coagulation. It has a nonspecific association with cell surface glycosaminoglycans and binding to glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins. It also binds specifically and saturably to thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1). TFPI may be involved in inhibiting factor X and VIIa, which are blood clotting factors, thus possessing an antithrombotic action and also the ability to associate with lipoproteins in plasma.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
