This assay recognizes both natural and recombinant Human thrombin.\u003cbr\u003e\nA Thrombin specific antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates and blocked. Standards or test samples are added to the wells and subsequently a Thrombin specific biotinylated detection antibody is added and then followed by washing with wash buffer. Streptavidin-Peroxidase Conjugate is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with wash buffer. TMB is then used to visualize Streptavidin-Peroxidase enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by Streptavidin-Peroxidase to produce a blue color product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is directly proportional to the amount of Thrombin captured in plate.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe entire kit may be stored at -20°C for long term storage before reconstitution - Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions--20°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-Multi, Storage information-Please refer to protocols\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nThrombin also known as Factor II or thrombin protein is a 36 kDa serine protease essential for blood coagulation. It is produced in the liver as prothrombin and activated in the coagulation cascade. Its expression occurs extensively in the liver where it plays an important role in converting soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin forming blood clots. Thrombin also activates various other coagulation factors including Factors V VIII and XI amplifying the coagulation response. Biotinylated thrombin variations help in detection and research applications.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThrombin modulates several physiological processes beyond clot formation. It serves as a signaling molecule interacting with protease-activated receptors (PARs) to influence cell functions including proliferation migration and apoptosis. Thrombin forms part of the prothrombinase complex comprised of prothrombin activated Factor X (Xa) and Factor V on phospholipid surfaces. This complex is critical for thrombin generation during the clotting cascade. Thrombin's activity extends to involvement in wound healing and inflammation regulation.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThrombin significantly participates in the coagulation and fibrinolytic pathways. It not only converts fibrinogen to fibrin in the coagulation pathway but also activates inhibitors like antithrombin which regulates thrombin and other protease activities. Thrombin's interaction with fibrinolysis where tPA and plasminogen are substrates integrates clot disintegration processes. Thrombin's connectivity with proteins such as Factor VII Protein C and antithrombin outlines its diverse role in maintaining hemostatic balance.\u003cbr\u003e\nThrombin associates with conditions such as venous thromboembolism and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Dysregulation of thrombin leads to excessive clotting contributing to thromboembolic diseases. In DIC uncontrolled thrombin activity results in systemic coagulation consuming clotting factors and increasing bleeding risk. Its function alongside proteins like Factor V Leiden and antithrombin deficiencies aggravate thrombotic conditions. Research into thrombin inhibitors aids in developing therapeutic strategies for these disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843561115817,"sku":"ab108909","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab108909","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
