F3

This gene encodes a membrane-bound glycoprotein that forms the primary physiological initiator of the blood coagulation process following vascular damage. The encoded protein binds to coagulation factor VIIa and the ensuing complex catalyzes the proteolytic activation of coagulation factors IX and X. Mice lacking encoded protein die in utero resulting from massive hemorrhaging in both extraembryonic and embryonic vessels. A severe deficiency of the encoded protein in mice results in impaired uterine homeostasis, shorter life spans due to spontaneous fatal hemorrhages and cardiac fibrosis.

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse F3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
