DescriptionFactor X Polyclonal Antibody – HRP ConjugatedAffinity’s Factor X Polyclonal Antibody – HRP Conjugated is the base level of our horseradish peroxidase conjugated Factor X antibodies.  The purity of IgG is typically 90% and is provided in a solution of HEPES buffered saline containing 50% glycerol (v/v).  The titre is essentially the same as the starting antiserum and each vial typically contains the amount of IgG recovered from one milliliter of antiserum however this IgG has been conjugated with Horseradish Peroxidase as an enzyme reporter.  This Factor X Polyclonal Antibody – HRP Conjugated is generally intended for use as labeled primary antibodies in applications such as immunoassay and immunoblotting.Product Code: GAFX-HRPRetail Product Size: 0.2mg vialHost Animal: Goat Anti-Human Factor X Polyclonal Antibody – HRP ConjugatedSpecies Cross Reactivity: View ChartProduct Datasheet: Factor X F10 Polyclonal Antibody, hrp conjugated anti-human Goat IgGDescription of Factor X (FX)Factor X (FX, Stuart Factor) is a vitamin K-dependent glycoprotein produced in the liver. The concentration of FX in plasma is ~10 μg/ml (~170 nM). Factor X is expressed as a two-chain molecule with a molecular weight of 59 kDa. The light chain (17 kDa) of FX contains a calcium-binding domain consisting of one hydroxy-aspartic acid and 11 γ-carboxyglutamic acid (gla) residues. These residues allow F.X to bind to membranes that contain acidic phospholipids in a calcium dependent manner. This is followed by two EGF-like domains. The heavy chain of FX (42 kDa) consists of the catalytic domain, carbohydrate and the activation peptide. Activation of FX to the active enzyme (FXa) results from cleavage at residue Arg52 in the heavy chain of F.X by a complex of F.IXa, cofactor VIIIa, calcium and negatively charged phospholipid surface (the tenase complex), or by the F.VIIa-tissue factor complex. Both activation pathways result in the release of the activation peptide from the N-terminal of the heavy chain. The FXa generated is a serine protease responsible for the activation of prothrombin to thrombin in the presence of a phospholipid membrane, calcium and cofactor Va. The activity of FXa in plasma is inhibited by antithrombin (ATIII), α1antitrypsin, α2macroglobulin and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI). The inhibitory activity of ATIII is stimulated approximately 1000-fold by heparin1-3.References and ReviewIchinose A, Davie EW; The Blood Coagulation Factors: Their cDNAs, Genes, and Expression; in Hemostasis and Thrombosis, 3rd Edition, eds.
