Shelf Life: 12 months
Background: Thrombin enzyme (Factor IIa, EC 3.4.21.5), a Serine protease, is an important clotting factor in the coagulation cascade that involves the conversion of soluble fibrinogen to insoluble active fibrin strands. In this pathway, Prothrombin is proteolytically converted into an active Thrombin. Thrombin is also a potent vasoconstrictor and mitogen implicated as a major factor in vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage. Ruptured cerebral aneurysm blood clots around a cerebral artery releases thrombin, which in turn induces acute and prolonged narrowing of the blood vessel, potentially resulting in cerebral ischemia and infarction (stroke). In addition, it is a pro-inflammatory enzyme that may influence the onset and progression of atherosclerosis. MyBioSource's Thrombin activity assay kit utilizes the ability of Thrombin to proteolytically cleave a synthetic substrate and release a fluorophore, AMC, which can be easily quantified by fluorescence reader. This assay kit is simple, rapid and can detect Thrombin activity as low as 1 ng in samples.

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
Thrombin, which cleaves bonds after Arg and Lys, converts fibrinogen to fibrin and activates factors V, VII, VIII, XIII, and, in complex with thrombomodulin, protein C. Functions in blood homeostasis, inflammation and wound healing ().

Product Notes
The Thrombin (Catalog #AAA841755) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. Determine activity of pure Thrombin Detect the activity of Thrombin in plasma. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Thrombin for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Thrombin, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
