Activity has not been tested. It is theoretically active, but we cannot guarantee it. If you require protein activity, we recommend choosing the eukaryotic expression version first.

SVTLE Protein, Calloselasma rhodostoma, Recombinant (His) is expressed in yeast with N-6xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 28.6 kDa and the accession number is P26324.

Calloselasma rhodostoma

P. pastoris (Yeast)

> 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Thrombin-like snake venom serine protease that acts as an anticoagulant. It cleaves fibrinogen (FGA) to split off the A-fibrinopeptides (A, AY and AP), but not the B-fibrinopeptide. The resulting fibrin polymers are imperfectly formed and much smaller in size (1 to 2 um long) than the fibrin polymers produced by the action of thrombin. These ancrod-induced microthrombi are friable, unstable, urea-soluble and have significantly degraded alpha chains. They do not cross-link to form thrombi. They are markedly susceptible to digestion by plasmin and are rapidly removed from circulation by either reticuloendothelial phagocytosis or normal fibrinolysis, or both. Anticoagulation through the removal of fibrinogen from the blood is rapid, occurring within hours following its administration. It does not activate plasminogen and does not degrade preformed, fully cross-linked thrombin fibrin. It also reduces the level of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) and may stimulate the release of tissue plasminogen activator (PLAT) from the endothelium. The profibrinolytic effect of these 2 actions appears to be limited to local microthrombus degradation.
