Prothrombin Bovine

Coagulation factor II, Prothrombin, F2.

Prothrombin produced in the liver is a vitamin K-dependent plasma protein. Before prothrombin is secreted into the plasma it goes through post translational modification by  vitamin K-dependent carboxylase. The vitamin K-dependent carboxylase convertsprothrombin to 10  glutamic acid residues to gamma carboxyglutamic acid. Prothrombin comprises of 2 kringle regions which are found among residues a.a. 40 & 270 of the mature plasma protein and substitute the growth factor domains located in numerous plasma serine proteases.

Prothrombin bovine native.

Bovine Plasma.

The bovine prothrombin was lyophilized with no additives.

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Bovine Prothrombin in sterile 0.9% NaCl

Lyophilized Bovine Prothrombin although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18C. Upon reconstitution Prothrombin should be stored  at 4C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles
