Bovine Alpha Thrombin Purified

Bovine Alpha Thrombin Purified from Innovative Research has been prepared from purified prothrombin. This is a frozen liquid buffered in 50% glycerol/water (v/v) , with a purity of greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis. Thrombin (Coagulation Factor IIa) is created by the cleaving of Prothrombin (Coagulation Factor II) by Factor Xa/V during the clotting process. Thrombin acts as a catalyst in various coagulation reactions, including converting fibrinogen into fibrin, activating factors XI, VIII, V, and XIII, and promoting platelet activation/aggregation by activating protease-activated receptors. Thrombin is inactivated by antithrombin.
