Prothrombin, Human Plasma

Native prothrombin from human plasma. Vitamin K-dependent glycoprotein synthesized in the liver. Conversion to thrombin is a key step in the blood coagulation pathway and catalyzes the coagulation of fibrinogen. Clinically, cases of selective deficiency are rare, although, in cases of liver cirrhosis, prothrombin is decreased.

Lyophilized from 100 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4.

Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-70°C). Stock solutions are stable for up to 3 months at -70°C.

Please refer to the label for lot-specific reconstitution volume.

Prepared from plasma that has been shown by certified tests to be negative for HBsAg and for antibodies to HIV and HCV.
