General description
Thrombin is the final coagulation protease in regard to hemostasis, promoting both procoagulant and anticoagulant effects. Lyophilized powder containing sucrose, sodium chloride and Tris.
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 assess characterization of platelet dysfunction after trauma.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Serine protease that selectively cleaves Arg-Gly bonds in fibrinogen to form fibrin and fibrinopeptides A and B.
Physical form
Lyophilized powder containing sodium chloride and Tris-HCl, pH 7.0
Preparation Note
Prepared using bovine lung thromboplastin for conversion to the active form.
Analysis Note
Activity is expressed in NIH units obtained by direct comparison to a NIH Thrombin Reference Standard, Lot K.
The NIH assay procedure uses 0.2 mL of diluted plasma (1:1 with saline) as a substrate and 0.1 mL 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.

Thrombin is the pivotal serine protease enzyme in the blood cascade system and thus a target of drug design for control of its activity. The most efficient nonphysiologic inhibitor of thrombin is hirudin, a naturally occurring small protein. Hirudin and
