Description
|
Batroxobin is a serine protease derived from the venom of Bothrops atrox. This thrombin-like proteolytic enzyme splits the 16 Arg-17 Gly bond in the A (alpha)-chain of fibrinogen, releasing fibrinopeptide A and leading to the clot formation through aggregation of formed of fibrin I monomer or Des-AA-monomer. In contrast to other anti-coagulants, it does not affect the functions of platelets. Hence, Batroxobin is used to determine fibrinogen in plasma, to measure a 'batroxobin clotting time' as a heparin-insensitive parallel to the thrombin time, to investigate dysfibrinogenemia, and to test the contractile system of platelets.

Molecular Weight
|
A single, glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 231 amino acids, and having a molecular mass of approximately 28,000~33,000.
|
Purity
|
>97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
|
Storage
|
This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage, preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to -70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
