Meizothrombin Preparation and Its Role in Fibrin Formation and Platelet Aggregation

Abstract: Meizothrombin (MT) is one of prothrombin derivatives which appears in haemostasis activation area. However, its role in haemostasis regulation isn't clear. We studied the role of MT in fibrin formation, platelet activation and aggregation. A new effective method of obtaining MT from native human prothrombin was developed using immobilised prothrombin activator from Echis multisquamatis venom. The protein was stable and electrophoretically pure. Platelet-rich plasma for aggregation study and gel-sieved platelet… Show more

“…Ecamulin (prothrombin activator from Echis multisqumatis venom) is an enzyme that activates prothrombin, descarboxy-prothrombin and prethrombin 1. It makes it possible to determine the total prothrombin level [17]. Thromboplastin acts through the tissue factor pathway of coagulation and activates only functionally active carboxylated and uncleaved forms of prothrombin as it is in the "prothrombin index" test.…”
