Native, bovine thrombin. Key enzyme that activates factor XIII and converts fibronogen into fibrin. Note: 1 KU = 1000 units.
Native, bovine thrombin. Key enzyme that activates factor XIII and converts fibronogen into fibrin. Serine protease formed in the plasma during the coagulation process by activation of prothrombin by a complex of Factor Xa, Factor Va, phospholipid, and Ca2+. Thrombin cleaves Arg-Gly bonds in specific sequences only. The best characterized activity of thrombin is the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin in the clotting process. Inhibited by AEBSF (Cat. No. 101500) Antithrombin (Cat. No. 169756), PMSF (Cat. No. 52332), and TLCK (Cat. No. 616382). Note: 1 KU = 1000 units.
