Product Overview
Tag | N/A |
Host Species | Human |
Accession | P00451 |
Synonym | F8, AHF, DXS1253E, F8B, F8C, FVIII, HEMA, coagulation factor VIII |
Background | Factor VIII (FVIII) is an essential blood-clotting protein, also known as anti-hemophilic factor (AHF). In humans, factor VIII is encoded by the F8 gene. Defects in this gene result in hemophilia A, a recessive X-linked coagulation disorder. Factor VIII is produced in liver sinusoidal cells and endothelial cells outside the liver throughout the body. This protein circulates in the bloodstream in an inactive form, bound to another molecule called von Willebrand factor, until an injury that damages blood vessels occurs. In response to injury, coagulation factor VIII is activated and separates from von Willebrand factor. The active protein (sometimes written as coagulation factor VIIIa) interacts with another coagulation factor called factor IX. This interaction sets off a chain of additional chemical reactions that form a blood clot. |
Description | Recombinant Human Antihemophilic Facor 8 produced in CHO is a glycosylated polypeptide chain having 2,322aa. The Factor-VIII protein is purified using our unique purification techniques. |
Source | CHO |
Purity | >97.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
Endotoxin | <1.0 EU per μg of F8 protein by the LAL method. |
Bioactivity | The specific activity of Factor 8 protein was found to be 7,058 IU/mg. |
Formulation | Recombinant F8 protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 8mg Tween-80, 112mM NaCl, 40mg Mannitol, 10mg Trehalose, 1ng VWF and 4.2mM CaCl2. |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Lyophilized Factor-VIII although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Factor-VIII should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Target Details
Target Function | Factor VIII, along with calcium and phospholipid, acts as a cofactor for F9/factor IXa when it converts F10/factor X to the activated form, factor Xa. |
Subcellular Location | Secreted, extracellular space. |
Protein Families | Multicopper oxidase family |
