Human beta-thrombin

Cat.-Nr.: HCBT-0022

Description

Alpha-thrombin is a highly specific serine protease generated by proteolytic activation of the zymogen prothrombin (1). Purified forms of -thrombin have been shown (2-4) to undergo autolysis upon long term storage to less active forms. Similar inactivation was observed upon limited digestion of -thrombin with trypsin (5). These proteolyzed forms of -thrombin have been termed -thrombin and -thrombin. -thrombin is produced by the cleavage of the Arg-70 or the Arg-73 bond in the thrombin B-chain. Another form of proteolyzed thrombin, termed ’-thrombin is formed by the single cleavage of thrombin at Arg-154. -thrombin is produced by proteolytic cleavage at both of these sites (Arg70/73 and Arg-154) in the B-chain. These cleavages cause release of peptides that are no longer covalently attached to the thrombin molecule, but remain associated through ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. These proteolyzed forms of thrombin retain their ability to cleave small synthetic substrates (6,7) and some protein substrates such as factor XIII (8), antithrombin III (9) and prothrombin (10). Their ability to clot fibrinogen (11), cleave thrombospondin (12) or activate protein C (9) have been markedly decreased. Human -thrombin and -thrombin are prepared from purified -thrombin by limited proteolysis with TPCK-treated trypsin, essentially by the method of Braun et al. (5). The proteolyzed forms of -thrombin are supplied in 100 mM NaH2PO4, pH 6.5 (containing NaCl) buffer and should be stored at -20°C. Purity is assessed by SDS-PAGE and activity is assessed using a fibrinogen clotting assay.
