General description
Thrombin, a sodium-activated type II enzyme, comprises two anion binding exosites, ABE-I and ABE-II. This serine protease enzyme is synthesized from zymogen prothrombin (factor II) in the liver.
Application
Thrombin, Human Plasma has been used:
- as a component of endothelial growth medium (EGM) media for the transplantation and reisolation of Kaposi′s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus-human endothelial cell line (KSHV-HuARLT) cells from mice
- for the fabrication of fibrin gels
- as a component of EGM media for viral copy number analysis of KSHV-HuARLT cells and matrigel implant
Biochem/physiol Actions
Thrombin cleaves and converts fibrinogen into fibrin. It then activates factors V, VIII, XI, and XIII. Thrombin stimulates platelet activation and stabilizes the fibrin polymers. It elicits a vital role in the last stages of the blood coagulation cascade.
Warning
Toxicity: Harmful (C)
Unit Definition
One unit is determined by comparison with a standard curve prepared using the Bureau of Biologics standard thrombin.
Physical form
Lyophilized from 200 mM NaCl, 50 mM citrate buffer, 0.1% PEG-8000, pH 6.5. Contains BSA as a stabilizer.
Preparation Note
Prepared from plasma that has been shown by certified tests to be negative for HBsAg and for antibodies to HIV and HCV.
Reconstitution
Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-70°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 2 months at -70°C.
Analysis Note
Complete activation from homogeneous prothrombin by SDS-PAGE
