Standards or test samples are added to the wells and subsequently a TAT Complexes 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 TAT Complexes 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nAssay Specificity\u003cbr\u003e\nOur ELISA kits are rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility.

It forms from the interaction of thrombin an enzyme and antithrombin a serpin inhibitor. Thrombin shows an approximate molecular mass of 36 kDa while antithrombin weighs around 58 kDa. This complex is expressed in the liver and circulates in the bloodstream where it helps maintain hemostasis by neutralizing excess thrombin preventing unwanted clotting events.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe complex participates in the regulation of the coagulation cascade. It functions as an essential inhibitor forming part of a larger set of interactions that ensure blood coagulation occurs correctly. As a result it plays a role in maintaining the balance between coagulation and anticoagulation reducing the risk of thrombotic conditions. The TAT complex can be detected using specific kits like TAT kits which measure its levels important for understanding coagulation status in conditions using both human and mouse models.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe thrombin-antithrombin complex is integrally involved in the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of the coagulation cascade. It serves as a feedback mechanism to control and limit thrombin activity. The balance it provides is important to the effective regulation of fibrin formation working alongside proteins such as fibrinogen and factor Xa. Antithrombin in particular requires heparin or heparin-like molecules to enhance its inhibitory effects on thrombin ensuring precise modulation of coagulation.\u003cbr\u003e\nThrombin-antithrombin complex levels correlate with various thrombotic and hemorrhagic disorders. Elevated levels often indicate ongoing activation of the coagulation system seen in conditions like deep vein thrombosis and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). These elevated levels can result from increased thrombin generation and antithrombin consumption. The complex's interaction with proteins like factor V and fibrin is pertinent in the pathology of these disorders making it a valuable marker in diagnosis and monitoring therapeutic responses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843610890409,"sku":"ab137994","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab137994","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
