- Blood coagulation or blood clotting refers to the process of formation of a blood clot to prevent bleeding.
Catalyzation of prothrombin into thrombin
- The prothrombinase inactivates heparin (anti-coagulant) in the presence of calcium
- Enzyme prothrombinase catalyzes the breakdown prothrombin (inactive plasma protein) into an active protein called thrombin
- Prothrombin is factor II. It is glycoproteinaceous and synthesised in the liver by vitamin K
-
