CD142, a 45kD cell surface glycoprotein which is also known as Tissue Factor. CD142 expression can be induced on monocytes, macrophages and endothelial cells by various stimuli including interleukin 1, tumor necrosis factor and endotoxin. CD142 initiates the blood clotting cascade by binding coagulation Factor VIIa, which activates Factor IX or Factor X by specific limited proteolysis. CD142 also plays an important role in inflammation, angiogenesis, and the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and cancer.
