Coagulation Factor VII

Coagulation Factor VII is a protein in the blood that plays a key role in blood clotting. When a blood vessel is injured, Factor VII works with other factors to activate a series of processes that lead to clot formation, helping to stop bleeding. It is part of the body's natural defense to wound healing. If Factor VII levels are too low or the protein doesn't work properly, it can lead to increased bleeding risks, while excess activity might cause unwanted clots. It is essential for maintaining the balance of healthy clotting and bleeding.
