Thrombomodulin (human 498-amino Acid Fragment)
Thrombomodulin (human 498-amino Acid Fragment) Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Thrombomodulin (human 498-amino Acid Fragment) is a novel, recombinant and soluble thrombomodulin (ART-123). It is a human protein with both thrombin inhibiting and protein C stimulating activities, for the potential treatment of thromboembolism and blood clotting disorders, such as disseminated intravascular thromboembolism.
Thrombomodulin (TM) alfa, a recombinant human soluble TM, enhances activation of pro-carboxypeptidase B2 (pro-CPB2) by thrombin. Activated pro-CPB2 (CPB2) exerts anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrinolytic activities.

How Thrombomodulin (human 498-amino Acid Fragment) works
Thrombomodulin alfa is a soluble form of recombinant human thrombomodulin comprising all extracellular domains of thrombomodulin. Bound to thrombin, Thrombomodulin alfa inhibits its procoagulant activity and promotes activation of protein C. Thrombomodulin alfa inhibits thrombin generation by the activation of protein C and the subsequent inactivation of factor Va in the presence of protein S. Thrombomodulin alfa attenuates the extension of the clot by inhibiting further thrombin generation on clots, while other anticoagulants inhibit the initiation of clot formation. A higher concentration of Thrombomodulin alfa is needed to affect clotting time and platelet aggregation than thrombin generation.
