Abstract:It has been known that factor XIa (XIa) can react covalently with antithrombin III (ATIII) to form two complexes with ratios of 2ATIII:1XIa and 1ATIII:1XIa. In the hands of these investigators, the M.W.s, as measured by SDS-PAGE, were 265 kDa and 225 kDa, respectively. In this investigation it has been observed that the addition of 1 µg or 5 µg heparin (H) to 3.1 ϫ 10-5 (mol ATIII for 5 minutes prior to the addition of 1.125 µ 10-5 µmol XIa for a 30-minute incubation led to an increase in the 265 kDa band of 1… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
