Human Thrombin ELISA Kit ab270210 is a rapid single-wash 90-min Sandwich ELISA to measure Human Thrombin in cell culture media, citrate plasma, EDTA plasma, heparin plasma, serum. This SimpleStep sensitivity is 55 pg/mL.
How the assay works
Human Thrombin SimpleStep ELISA
employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA
plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA
protocol summary in the image section for further details.
Assay Specificity
Our SimpleStep ELISA
kits use recombinant monoclonal antibodies rigorously validated to ensure the highest level of consistency and reproducibility, improved sensitivity and specificity and ease of scalability and security of supply.
Please refer to our protocol booklet for more details.

Thrombin (activated Factor II [IIa]) is a coagulation protein that has many effects in the coagulation cascade. Thrombin is a serine protease that converts soluble fibrinogen into insoluble strands of fibrin, as well as catalyzing many other coagulation-related reactions. Thrombin is in the form of alpha-thrombin that is the immediate end-product of prothrombin activation: two further thrombin products can be identified, beta- and gamma-thrombin. These are degraded forms that may arise from autodigestion of a thrombin preparation. Human Thrombin shares 81%, sequence homology with mouse and bovine as well as 80% with rat.

Thrombin 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.
Biological function summary
Thrombin 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.
Pathways
Thrombin 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.
Thrombin 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.
