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