General description
Thrombin is a sodium-activated type II enzyme. It contains two anion binding exosites, ABE-I and ABE-II. The predominant form of thrombin in vivo is the zymogen prothrombin (factor II), which is produced in the liver. Bovine a-thrombin consists of a light chain (A chain) and a heavy chain (B chain). These two chains are joined by one disulfide bond. The B chain of a-thrombin includes a carbohydrate portion.
Application
Thrombin from bovine plasma has been used to study its effect on the perinatal rat subventricular zone cells and oligodendrocyte precursor cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration in culture. It has also been used in fibrin degradation assay to measure nattokinase activity.
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 global haemostasis and point of care testing.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Thrombin is a proteolytic enzyme critical in the blood clotting process and activates clotting factors V, VIII, XI, and XII. Thrombin promotes platelet aggregation. Therefore, thrombin is the final coagulation protease in hemostasis, promoting both procoagulant and anticoagulant effects. It is used to treat bleeding from capillaries and small venules.
Serine protease that selectively cleaves Arg-Gly bonds in fibrinogen to form fibrin and fibrinopeptides A and B.
Physical form
Lyophilized from saline sodium citrate buffer, pH 6.5
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.
Other Notes
Activity is expressed in NIH units obtained by direct comparison to a NIH thrombin reference standard.

The evaluation of the coagulation profile has used so far either clotting-based or chromogenic assays with different endpoints. Clotting-based techniques are the most used worldwide, and they certainly are useful for diagnosis of clotting factor deficiencies. However, the information provided

Egress of lipoprotein-derived cholesterol from lysosomes requires two lysosomal proteins, polytopic membrane-bound Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1) and soluble Niemann-Pick C2 (NPC2). The reason for this dual requirement is unknown. Previously, we showed that the soluble luminal N-terminal domain (NTD) of NPC1
