Descripción

General description

Thrombin is a sodium-activated type II enzyme. This serine protease enzyme consists of two anion binding exosites, ABE-I and ABE-II. Thrombin is synthesized from zymogen prothrombin (factor II) in the liver. Bovine A-thrombin comprises a light chain (A chain) and a heavy chain (B chain). These two chains are linked by non-covalent interactions and by one disulfide bond.

Application

Thrombin, bovine, high activity has been used:

• to stimulate LNCaP cell and to study the effect of activation of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)
• in fibrin gel fabrication
• to form fibrinogen gel by fibrinogen gel-based method

Biochem/physiol Actions

Thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin and activates factors V, VIII, XI, and XIII. It promotes platelet activation and vascular contraction. Thrombin stabilizes the fibrin polymers. It plays a crucial role in the final stages of the blood coagulation cascade.

Warning

Toxicity: Harmful (C)

Physical form

Lyophilized from 200 mM NaCl, 50 mM sodium citrate, 1 ml 0.1% PEG, pH 6.5.

Analysis Note

Complete activation from homogeneous prothrombin by SDS-PAGE
