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
