Dabigatran and Argatroban Diametrically Modulate Thrombin Exosite Function. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Thrombin is a highly plastic molecule whose activity and specificity are regulated by exosites 1 and 2, positively-charged domains that flank the active site. Exosite binding by substrates and cofactors regulates thrombin activity by localizing thrombin,

Impaired glucose metabolism is associated with increased thrombin generation potential in patients undergoing angioplasty and stenting

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2018
Background As a strong platelet agonist on the one hand and key molecule in plasmatic coagulation on the other hand, thrombin connects primary and secondary hemostasis.

Thrombin [PDF]

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.

Thrombin-induced platelet aggregation −effect of dabigatran using automated platelet aggregometry−

Platelets, 2020
Dabigatran, a direct oral thrombin inhibitor, has two therapeutic effects: anticoagulation; and antiplatelet activity. In the clinical field, evaluation of the effect of dabigatran on thrombin-induced platelet aggregation is difficult because of fibrin ...

Complement and Coagulation System Crosstalk in Synaptic and Neural Conduction in the Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems

Biomedicines, 2021
Complement and coagulation are both key systems that defend the body from harm. They share multiple features and are similarly activated. They each play individual roles in the systemic circulation in physiology and pathophysiology, with significant ...

Protease-activated receptor 1 mediates thrombin-dependent, cell-mediated renal inflammation in crescentic glomerulonephritis. [PDF]

, 2000
Protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1 is a cellular receptor for thrombin that is activated after proteolytic cleavage. The contribution of PAR-1 to inflammatory cell-mediated renal injury was assessed in murine crescentic glomerulonephritis (GN).

Platelet Biochemistry and Morphology after Cryopreservation [PDF]

, 2020
Platelet cryopreservation has been investigated for several decades as an alternative to room temperature storage of platelet concentrates. The use of dimethylsulfoxide as a cryoprotectant has improved platelet storage and cryopreserved concentrates can ...

Small GTP-binding protein Rho-mediated signaling promotes proliferation of rheumatoid synovial fibroblasts [PDF]

, 2005
Rho is a major small GTP-binding protein that is involved in the regulation of various cell functions, including proliferation and cell migration, through activation of multiple signaling molecules in various types of cells.
