It has an apparent molecular weight of 28,000 and it specifically converts fibrinogen to fibrin through an enzymatic reaction. This activity was confirmed by a method using synthetic substrate S-2238, though the fraction from a DEAE sephacel column chromatography shows amidolytic activity of S-2251 and S-2366, which are commonly used to measure plasmin and activated protein C activity, respectively, as well as S-2238. This thrombin-like activity of the final product was not affect by the addition of heparin and AT-III. This enzyme also aggregates normal platelets. It is considered that this purified enzyme would be useful as a hemostatic agent or research reagent.}, pages = {217--226}, title = {Characterization of a new coagulant enzyme isolated from Trimeresurus okinavensis (Himehabu snake) venom}, volume = {16}, year = {1997} }
