General description

Thrombin is the final coagulation protease in regard to hemostasis, promoting both procoagulant and anticoagulant effects.

Application

Thrombin is used for site specific cleavage of recombinant fusion proteins containing an accessible thrombin recognition site for removal of affinity tags. Thrombin has been used in a study to evaluate the in vitro effect of low molecular weight heparin on thrombin generation in cirrhotic patients at different stages of liver disease.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Serine protease that selectively cleaves Arg-Gly bonds in fibrinogen to form fibrin and fibrinopeptides A and B.

Unit Definition

Activity is expressed in NIH units obtained by direct comparison to a NIH Thrombin Reference Standard

Physical form

Lyophilized from 0.02 M Bis/Tris buffer, pH 6.5, 0.15 M NaCl and 0.1% PEG-8000

Analysis Note

The NIH assay procedure uses 0.2 ml diluted plasma (1:1 with saline) as a substrate and 0.1ml of thrombin sample (stabilized in a 1% buffered albumin solution) based on a modification of the method of Biggs. Only clotting times in the range of 15-25 seconds are used for determining thrombin concentrations.

Activation of protease-activated receptors (PAR) can induce vasodilation (VD) and increase of vascular permeability either directly by stimulating endothelial cells or indirectly via activation of nociceptors and subsequent release of neuropeptides (neurogenic inflammation).

Current visual biosensing methods, including colorimetric-based, fluorescence-based and chemiluminescence-based methods, are inappropriate for the hundreds of millions of people affected by color blindness and color weakness. Compared with these available methods, a droplet motion-based strategy might be a promising protocol

We propose a new sensor design that maximizes fluorescence contrast, inspired by whispering-gallery mode lasing (WGM). Aptamer-modified glass microspheres (cf. 1-38 μm) and thrombin are used as a model sensory cavity and target protein, respectively. Two types of microsphere are

In haemophilia A, the functional defect at the molecular level of most factor VIII (FVIII) missense mutations remains unknown.
