== Disease ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FA7_HUMAN FA7_HUMAN]] Defects in F7 are the cause of factor VII deficiency (FA7D) [MIM:[http://omim.org/entry/227500 227500]]. A hemorrhagic disease with variable presentation. The clinical picture can be very severe, with the early occurrence of intracerebral hemorrhages or repeated hemarthroses, or, in contrast, moderate with cutaneous-mucosal hemorrhages (epistaxis, menorrhagia) or hemorrhages provoked by a surgical intervention. Finally, numerous subjects are completely asymptomatic despite very low factor VII levels.<ref>PMID:8043443</ref> <ref>PMID:2070047</ref> <ref>PMID:1634227</ref> <ref>PMID:8364544</ref> <ref>PMID:8204879</ref> <ref>PMID:7981691</ref> <ref>PMID:7974346</ref> <ref>PMID:8652821</ref> <ref>PMID:8844208</ref> <ref>PMID:8940045</ref> <ref>PMID:8883260</ref> <ref>PMID:9414278</ref> <ref>PMID:9576180</ref> <ref>PMID:9452082</ref> <ref>PMID:11091194</ref> <ref>PMID:11129332</ref> <ref>PMID:10862079</ref> <ref>PMID:12472587</ref> <ref>PMID:14717781</ref> <ref>PMID:19751712</ref> <ref>PMID:18976247</ref> <ref>PMID:19432927</ref> <ref>PMID:21206266</ref> <ref>PMID:21372693</ref>  
== Function ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FA7_HUMAN FA7_HUMAN]] Initiates the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. Serine protease that circulates in the blood in a zymogen form. Factor VII is converted to factor VIIa by factor Xa, factor XIIa, factor IXa, or thrombin by minor proteolysis. In the presence of tissue factor and calcium ions, factor VIIa then converts factor X to factor Xa by limited proteolysis. Factor VIIa will also convert factor IX to factor IXa in the presence of tissue factor and calcium. [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TF_HUMAN TF_HUMAN]] Initiates blood coagulation by forming a complex with circulating factor VII or VIIa. The [TF:VIIa] complex activates factors IX or X by specific limited protolysis. TF plays a role in normal hemostasis by initiating the cell-surface assembly and propagation of the coagulation protease cascade.<ref>PMID:12652293</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Factor VIIa (FVIIa) consists of a gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) domain, two epidermal growth factor-like domains, and a protease domain. FVIIa binds seven Ca(2+) ions in the Gla, one in the EGF1, and one in the protease domain. However, blood contains both Ca(2+) and Mg(2+), and the Ca(2+) sites in FVIIa that could be specifically occupied by Mg(2+) are unknown. Furthermore, FVIIa contains a Na(+) and two Zn(2+) sites, but ligands for these cations are undefined. We obtained p-aminobenzamidine-VIIa/soluble tissue factor (sTF) crystals under conditions containing Ca(2+), Mg(2+), Na(+), and Zn(2+). The crystal diffracted to 1.8A resolution, and the final structure has an R-factor of 19.8%. In this structure, the Gla domain has four Ca(2+) and three bound Mg(2+). The EGF1 domain contains one Ca(2+) site, and the protease domain contains one Ca(2+), one Na(+), and two Zn(2+) sites. (45)Ca(2+) binding in the presence/absence of Mg(2+) to FVIIa, Gla-domainless FVIIa, and prothrombin fragment 1 supports the crystal data. Furthermore, unlike in other serine proteases, the amide N of Gly(193) in FVIIa points away from the oxyanion hole in this structure. Importantly, the oxyanion hole is also absent in the benzamidine-FVIIa/sTF structure at 1.87A resolution. However, soaking benzamidine-FVIIa/sTF crystals with d-Phe-Pro-Arg-chloromethyl ketone results in benzamidine displacement, d-Phe-Pro-Arg incorporation, and oxyanion hole formation by a flip of the 192-193 peptide bond in FVIIa. Thus, it is the substrate and not the TF binding that induces oxyanion hole formation and functional active site geometry in FVIIa. Absence of oxyanion hole is unusual and has biologic implications for FVIIa macromolecular substrate specificity and catalysis.
