Noncompetitive Inhibitor of Thrombin
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 ...

Pathophysiological Mechanisms and Potential Therapeutic Targets in Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of hemorrhagic stroke with high mortality and morbidity. The resulting hematoma within brain parenchyma induces a series of adverse events causing primary and secondary brain injury.

The transition of prothrombin to thrombin
The proteolytic conversion of prothrombin to thrombin catalyzed by prothrombinase is one of the more extensively studied reactions of blood coagulation.

Bench-to-bedside review: the role of activated protein C in maintaining endothelial tight junction function and its relationship to organ injury. [PDF]
Activated protein C (APC) has emerged as a novel therapeutic agent for use in selected patients with severe sepsis, even though the mechanism of its benefit is not well established.

BackgroundThrombolytic therapy for acute thrombosis is limited by life‐threatening side effects such as major bleeding and neurotoxicity. New treatment options with enhanced fibrinolytic potential are therefore required.

Inhibition of thrombin, an unexplored function of retinoic acid
Retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A, is known to possess in vivo anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet and fibrinolytic activities. We have investigated the in vitro thrombin and platelet aggregation inhibitory activities of vitamin A (retinol) and its ...

Thrombin is the protease involved in blood coagulation. Its deregulation can lead to hemostatic abnormalities, which range from subtle subclinical to serious life-threatening coagulopathies, i.e., during septicemia. Additionally, thrombin plays important

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), a common subtype of hemorrhagic stroke, often causes severe disability or death. ICH induces adverse events that might lead to secondary brain injury (SBI), and there is currently a lack of specific effective treatment ...

Peptide Bbeta(15-42) preserves endothelial barrier function in shock [PDF]
Loss of vascular barrier function causes leak of fluid and proteins into tissues, extensive leak leads to shock and death. Barriers are largely formed by endothelial cell-cell contacts built up by VE-cadherin and are under the control of RhoGTPases. Here

Thrombin Protease-activated Receptor-1 Signals through Gq- and G13-initiated MAPK Cascades Regulating c-Jun Expression to Induce Cell Transformation [PDF]
Although the ability of G protein-coupled receptors to stimulate normal and aberrant cell growth has been intensely investigated, the precise nature of the molecular mechanisms underlying their transforming potential are still not fully understood.
