Gene Description

F7 encodes coagulation factor VII, a secreted, vitamin K-dependent plasma glycoprotein that circulates predominantly as a zymogen. Its activated form, factor VIIa, is a serine endopeptidase that binds tissue factor and cleaves factors IX and X to their active forms, initiating the extrinsic coagulation pathway. Tissue factor binding enhances protease activity, while calcium coordination and the gamma-carboxyglutamate-rich domain support assembly at phospholipid surfaces. The resulting extracellular, membrane-associated reactions feed thrombin generation and fibrin formation. Tissue-factor-bound factor VIIa also participates in context-dependent cell signaling.

GO:0001666 response to hypoxia
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
UNDECIDED
Summary: The rat hypoxia response does not yet resolve the human assertion.
Reason: The actual Q8K3U6 donor GOA is IEP from PMID:9155722. Its positive abstract reports changes in rat coagulation during prolonged hypobaric hypoxia, including reduced FVII activity after eight weeks, with consumption during thrombosis considered. Complete original Methods/Results were not recovered. Preserve this observation without inferring oxygen sensing, dismissing the donor, or claiming that this particular response has been established for human F7.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain context-dependent enhancement of human monocyte chemotaxis.
Reason: The inspected Methods and Results of PMID:17991872 identify recombinant human FVIIa and primary human blood monocytes, alongside human fibroblasts and engineered porcine aortic endothelial cells. TF/FVIIa enhances PDGF-BB-directed migration, with PAR2 and Src/PLC perturbations supporting the signaling context. This is a measured cellular response, not evidence that FVIIa is itself a chemoattractant or kinase. Retain it as a contextual consequence of receptor-associated protease signaling rather than the principal coagulation role. Complete article and supplement access remains unavailable; the positive judgment uses the recovered original operative pages.

GO:0004175 endopeptidase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
MODIFY
Summary: Specify serine-type endopeptidase activity.
Reason: The rat donor assertion is IDA from PMID:12757778; its abstract reports recombinant rat FVII assayed in human FVII-deficient plasma and a TF-dependent chromogenic system, but the original Methods remain unavailable. Independently, human FVIIa peptide cleavage and inhibition were actually measured in PMID:34502392, and the current human protease-domain/EC record specifies serine endopeptidase chemistry. This supports the specific MF without treating a human expression host or human assay plasma as proof that the donor protein was human.

ACCEPT
Summary: Retain FVIIa serine endopeptidase activity and query the imported contribution qualifier.
Reason: Activated FVIIa supplies the catalytic site. In the actual PMID:7797546 S-2288 Methods and Results associated with Figures 5–6, human FVIIa hydrolyzes the peptide without tissue factor; TF and calcium strongly enhance that activity. This establishes catalytic capacity of FVIIa itself, not efficient tissue-factor-independent physiological coagulation. The source PMID:24998411 remains abstract-only here, so its exact complex-level annotation rationale cannot be reconstructed. Retain the activity while asking the source curator to check contributes_to versus enables; neither the qualifier nor the source identifier is rewritten.
GO:0004252 serine-type endopeptidase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000120
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain the serine protease activity of activated FVII.
Reason: Current target InterPro entries IPR001254, IPR012224 and IPR018114 and EC 3.4.21.21 support this chemistry, and the executed human FVIIa peptide assay in PMID:34502392 provides independent corroboration. Current ARBA00027237 conditions do not reproduce a match to current P08709 cross-references; that source-version limitation is retained without rejecting the independently supported combined assertion. The active protease is FVIIa, not every unprocessed FVII molecule.

ACCEPT
Summary: Retain activated FVIIa serine endopeptidase activity.
Reason: The complete PMID:3037537 original is a human gene-sequencing study; its account of FVIIa catalysis is background appropriate to the imported TAS evidence, not a new enzyme assay in that paper. Independent human biochemical evidence in PMID:8940045 supports the serine-protease role of the activated protein. The two alternative precursor leaders discussed in the sequence paper do not establish universal processing or functional equivalence of current natural products.

GO:0005102 signaling receptor binding
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain binding to the tissue-factor receptor/cofactor.
Reason: Current rat Q8K3U6 GOA traces to PMID:18315926, whose abstract describes a rat EGF1 fusion binding cellular TF; complete original Methods are unavailable. Independently, the complete human study PMID:3455766 directly isolates human brain TF on a human plasma-FVII affinity column in a calcium-dependent interaction. This supports receptor binding rather than generic association; it does not by itself establish downstream PAR signaling. The paper’s FX-cleavage kinetics used bovine reagents and are not recast as human assays.

Summary: Retain calcium binding supporting FVII structure and assembly.
Reason: All five cited InterPro entries are present in current P08709 and their actual mappings include calcium binding. The independently inspected human FVIIa–soluble-TF structure deposition 1DAN contains calcium associated with the FVII light and heavy chains. This is a bound-metal structural observation in an active-site-inhibited preparation, not a measurement of catalytic activity or proof that the two precursor products have identical processing.

It provides structural complex and calcium-coordination evidence, not an executed catalytic or signaling measurement. The article main text remains unavailable.

Reason: The actual PMID:8940045 author original reports binding of recombinant human WT FVII to immobilized human TF residues 1–218, with gelatin controls and WT-versus-mutant affinity measurements. This directly supports binding to the TF receptor/cofactor. Its human Xa activation and TF-dependent functional assays are distinct from the physical-binding measurement and do not make TF the protease. The specific binding refinement does not require treating this study as a downstream cell-signaling experiment.

Reason: The actual PMID:9414278 author original tests human WT and engineered N57D/R79Q FVII preparations expressed in 293/COS-1 cells and WT binding to relipidated TF. This supports the TF receptor/cofactor interaction; mutant effects are not generalized to both natural F7 products.

Summary: Retain extracellular localization of secreted human FVII.
Reason: PMID:36951360 is accessible only as metadata and abstract, which reports secretion and functional characterization of human F7 variants; its specific construct and secretion controls remain uninspected. Independent actual human plasma purification in PMID:3455766 and WT human FVII recovered from conditioned medium in PMID:9414278 support the broad extracellular location. This does not assign a mutant-specific secretion defect to WT or establish equal secretion of every natural product.
GO:0005576 extracellular region
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Retain the conserved extracellular functional pool.
Reason: The actual v19 PTHR24278 tree places human PTN002542619 below extracellular-region IBD PTN000669108; the ungapped 466-residue target MSA equals the displayed P08709 sequence and there is no target-path NOT. Native human plasma FVII in PMID:3455766 and native extracellular Reactome entities independently support the location. Fresh family queries timed out, so the exact earlier official tree/MSA capture is used with its version boundary rather than claimed as a fresh response.

Summary: Retain the soluble extracellular FVIIa pool before TF recruitment.
Reason: Reactome R-HSA-140748 input FVIIa complex 140751 contains native human P08709 light chain 140749 (61–212) and heavy chain 140750 (213–466), each explicitly extracellular. Their plasma-membrane output counterparts remain distinct. This location is also consistent with the human plasma preparation in PMID:3455766; it does not assign TF’s transmembrane topology to FVII.

GO_REF:0000117
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain the broad hemostatic response context as non-core.
Reason: Current ARBA00026300 condition set 175 matches three actual target FunFam memberships. The broad stress-response term is compatible with tissue-factor-triggered hemostasis but is less informative than the defined catalytic cascade. Retain it as a contextual response, without using the rule to infer every specific hypoxic, hormonal or metabolic response proposed elsewhere.

Summary: Specify the tissue-factor-initiated coagulation pathway.
Reason: The exact human target lies below the actual blood-coagulation IBD PTN002800588. Current donor annotations include mouse P70375/MGI:109325 knockout evidence and zebrafish Q504H3; their complete originals were not recovered. Human target self-WITH remains valid grounding. The inspected TF-binding experiment and native TF:FVIIa activation models independently support the more specific extrinsic-pathway role, without transferring developmental phenotypes or treating the donor count as evidence quality.

MODIFY
Summary: Specify FVIIa participation in the extrinsic coagulation pathway.
Reason: TF-associated FVIIa performs the initiating proteolytic step of the extrinsic pathway. PMID:24998411 remains abstract-only and its TF-dependent procoagulant assay cannot be assigned a detailed FVII reagent scope here. Independent human FVII biochemical evidence in PMID:8940045 and PMID:9414278 supports the performed coagulation role. The current extrinsic-pathway term is a typed specialization of blood coagulation; the refinement does not claim that FVII is the downstream thrombin or fibrin substrate.

MODIFY
Summary: Specify the extrinsic pathway role of TF-associated FVIIa.
Reason: The original PMID:8632006 abstract explicitly includes TF/FVIIa activation of human FIX and compares the G12R FIX variant, despite the title emphasizing FIXa–FVIIIa binding. Full operative Methods remain unavailable after bounded retrieval attempts, so no unverified FVII reagent species, concentration or product is asserted. The imported coagulation role is independently supported by actual human FVII WT biochemical studies PMID:8940045 and PMID:9414278 and is more precisely represented by the extrinsic pathway. This does not transfer FIXa/FVIIIa cofactor activity to FVII.

GO_REF:0000002
MODIFY
Summary: Specify the extrinsic coagulation pathway.
Reason: Current P08709 contains IPR012224 with the blood-coagulation mapping. Human FVII binding to TF and the explicit native-human TF:FVIIa reactions activating FIX and FX support the more informative tissue-factor-initiated pathway. This is participation by the FVIIa protease, not merely the consumption of a zymogen.

GO:0007623 circadian rhythm
IEA
GO_REF:0000107
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Retain rhythmic FVII activity as a non-core physiological context.
Reason: The rat donor PMID:2607889 positively reports a roughly 24-hour FVII coagulant-activity rhythm, although its complete original remains unavailable. Independent complete PMID:15604416 Methods/Results (pp. 646–648) measure human FVII-dependent FXa generation in 13 healthy men at 8 AM and 2 PM, with higher morning activity, and demonstrate persistence of a FVII activity rhythm in mice kept in constant darkness. Human two-time-point sampling alone does not prove an endogenous circadian oscillator; the mouse experiment supplies that conserved rhythm context. GO:0007623 includes recurrent biological activity and does not require FVII to be a clock component. Retain this context outside the core coagulation function.

MODIFY
Summary: Specify serine-type endopeptidase activity of FVIIa.
Reason: The broader serine-type peptidase term can be refined to endopeptidase activity: activated FVIIa cleaves internal peptide bonds during coagulation, rather than removing terminal residues. PMID:3037537 supplies TAS background, while independent human WT biochemical characterization in PMID:8940045 supports the active protease. The current GO:0004252 is an is_a descendant of GO:0008236.

Summary: The rat hormone-response experiment does not settle this human context.
Reason: The Q8K3U6 IEP source PMID:18336749 reports differential rat coagulation-factor responses to TRH, TSH, T3 and T4, including reduced FVII activity after some treatments. Complete original Methods/Results were unavailable. The response term need not mean hormone binding, but its conservation and exact conditions cannot be adjudicated from the abstract alone.

UNDECIDED
Summary: Retain uncertainty about a specific human carbon-dioxide response.
Reason: The complete rat original PMID:26855512 used female Wistar rats exposed to CO2 pneumoperitoneum at two pressures and durations. FVII activity increased only at 12 mmHg for one hour, with pressure, procedure and reperfusion accompanying exposure. The response term does not require a CO2 receptor, but this design does not isolate a CO2-specific effect and its transfer to human F7 remains unresolved. This differs from the independently supported vitamin-K-dependent biosynthetic response: uncertainty is about stimulus attribution and conservation, not a requirement for autonomous sensing.

Reason: Actual PMID:17991872 Methods identify human FVIIa and human TF/PDGFRΞ² expressed in porcine aortic endothelial cells. Figures 4–5 and the associated Results show rapid PDGFRΞ² phosphorylation, PAR2 dependence and Src-inhibitor sensitivity; human monocyte and fibroblast migration provides a separate cellular arm.

Reason: The relevant processing role is FVIIa-mediated conversion of coagulation zymogen substrates such as FIX and FX to active enzymes, not processing of FVII by another protease.

It does not resolve which active protease drives the effect, the FVII reagent/processing state, or controls distinguishing FVIIa from downstream FXa.

Reason: The actual PMID:25037231 supplementary workbook lists F7/P08709 in both the complete dataset and Matrisome sheets (row 281), with positive peptides in normal-liver pools and one liver-metastasis patient. The reported protein group includes P08709, P08709-2 and B4DPM2, so it is not isoform-resolved. Methods describe sequential extraction and LC–MS/MS of an insoluble ECM-enriched fraction, with fractionation controls.

Reason: The available original abstract for rat PMID:14724430 reports FVII levels falling and recovering after 90% hepatectomy and uses this short-lived plasma factor as an indicator of hepatic protein production. GO:0031100 concerns regrowth of a lost or destroyed organ; the inspected text does not identify a regenerative step performed by FVII.

Its complete Methods/Results remain unavailable. Independent PMID:15604416 shows feeding-dependent modulation of mouse FVII activity rhythms, but human sampling combines time of day and a meal and does not isolate a nutrient effect.

Reason: PMID:18612547 reports a positive TF–FVIIa–FXa/mTOR association in its abstract, but the full original assay and perturbation scope remains unavailable. FVIIa and FXa are distinct proteases; without the operative controls this cannot be assigned to FVIIa-specific causal regulation or a particular native product.

Independently, human Reactome R-HSA-159761 models vitamin-K-dependent GGCX modification of the actual FVII precursor. Together these support a contextual biosynthetic response and its human relevance. GGCX performs carboxylation; F7 is its substrate, not a vitamin-K receptor or carboxylase.

Reason: The inspected PMID:17991872 Methods/Results show human FVIIa increasing PDGF-BB-directed migration in the tested human monocytes/fibroblasts and engineered PAE system. PAR2/Src/PLC perturbations support a signaling route that enhances an existing attractant response. This is distinct from FVIIa serving as the gradient cue or directly phosphorylating PDGFRΞ².

ACCEPT
Summary: Retain membership in the TF:FVIIa serine-peptidase assembly.
Reason: The exact PMID:24998411 main article is unavailable, so its specific co-complex assay is not reconstructed from the abstract. Independent human TF-binding experiments in PMID:3455766 and PMID:8940045, together with the primary human FVIIa–TF structure associated with PMID:8598903, support the imported complex-membership claim. Activated FVIIa supplies the protease active site and TF is its receptor/cofactor; inhibited structural preparations establish assembly rather than executed catalysis. The light/heavy chains represent processing, not additional natural isoforms.

Core Functions

Factor VIIa catalyzes internal peptide-bond cleavage that activates factors IX and X in the tissue-factor-dependent extrinsic coagulation pathway, thereby increasing coagulation. FVIIa supplies the catalytic site and can hydrolyze a peptide substrate without tissue factor; TF strongly enhances activity and provides the receptor/cofactor context for physiological substrate recognition. Calcium coordination, TF binding and phospholipid association support this same extracellular catalytic unit at the external face of the plasma membrane. The structured substrates name the human FIX and FX gene products, not their activated products or an untested natural isoform. Zymogen activation describes the performed FIX/FX cleavage steps, distinct from processing FVII itself.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: How do the two annotated F7 precursor products, A (466 residues) and B (444 residues), differ in secretion, maturation and production of active tissue-factor-bound enzyme under physiological expression conditions?

Q: Under which cell-surface conditions can signaling be assigned specifically to FVIIa, separately from signaling by the FXa generated in the same tissue-factor-associated assembly?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Express sequence-verified human A and B precursors separately in the same secretion-competent cell system. Measure transcript abundance, secreted protein, N-terminal processing and gamma-carboxylation before comparing activation cleavage, tissue factor binding and FIX/FX cleavage at matched active-site concentrations. Identify the mature chains directly by mass spectrometry rather than transferring precursor-A processing coordinates to precursor B.

Experiment: Compare purified human FVIIa with and without FX on cells bearing defined amounts of tissue factor and the relevant protease-activated receptor. Combine selective FVIIa and FXa inhibition with catalytic-site controls, direct receptor-cleavage measurements and downstream signaling readouts. Quantify generated FXa and keep coagulation endpoints separate from signaling so that an effect of the assembled system is not automatically assigned to FVIIa alone.
