EC 3.4.21.21

Accepted name: coagulation factor VIIa

Reaction: Selective cleavage of ArgIle bond in factor X to form factor Xa

Other name(s): blood-coagulation factor VIIa; activated blood coagulation factor VII

Comments: Formed from the precursor factor VII. The cattle enzyme is more readily inhibited by diisopropyl fluorophosphate than the human [1]. In peptidase family S1 (trypsin family)
