Molecular Aspects of Medicine, 2008 Thrombin is a Na+-activated, allosteric serine protease that plays opposing functional roles in blood coagulation. Binding of Na+ is the major driving force behind the procoagulant, prothrombotic and signaling functions of the enzyme, but is dispensable for cleavage of the anticoagulant protein C.

Noncompetitive Inhibitor of Thrombin
ChemBioChem, 2009 Two for the price of one: Full length variegin competitively inhibits thrombin in a substrate-like fashion. Upon proteolysis, the cleaved fragment is able to inhibit thrombin noncompetitively; this results in overall prolonged and potent inhibition. This is the first account of a potent and specific classical noncompetitive inhibitor of the thrombin ...

PLoS Computational Biology, 2022 Thrombin is an enzyme produced during blood coagulation that is crucial to the formation of a stable clot. Thrombin cleaves soluble fibrinogen into fibrin, which polymerizes and forms an insoluble, stabilizing gel around the growing clot.

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Background Thrombin is the most important enzyme in the hemostatic process by permitting rapid and localized coagulation in case of tissue damage. Camel thrombin is the natural and proper target enzyme for the previously purified camel tick salivary ...

Negatively charged phospholipids stimulate factor XI activation by thrombin
Thrombosis Update, 2021 Introduction: Coagulation factor XI (FXI) is the zymogen of the serine-protease FXIa, which contributes to thrombin formation by activating factor IX.

Structure and behavior of human α-thrombin upon ligand recognition: thermodynamic and molecular dynamics studies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Thrombin is a serine proteinase that plays a fundamental role in coagulation. In this study, we address the effects of ligand site recognition by alpha-thrombin on conformation and energetics in solution.

Impact of hormone-associated resistance to activated protein C on the thrombotic potential of oral contraceptives: a prospective observational study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The increased thrombotic risk of oral contraceptives (OC) has been attributed to various alterations of the hemostatic system, including acquired resistance to activated protein C (APC).
