Recombinant Human F2 Protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: F2-12619H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human F2 Protein(NP_000497.1)(Ala44~Arg198) is expressed from E. coli with a His tag at the N-terminal.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes the prothrombin protein (also known as coagulation factor II). This protein is proteolytically cleaved in multiple steps to form the activated serine protease thrombin. The activated thrombin enzyme plays an important role in thrombosis and hemostasis by converting fibrinogen to fibrin during blood clot formation, by stimulating platelet aggregation, and by activating additional coagulation factors. Thrombin also plays a role in cell proliferation, tissue repair, and angiogenesis as well as maintaining vascular integrity during development and postnatal life. Peptides derived from the C-terminus of this protein have antimicrobial activity against E. coli and P. aeruginosa. Mutations in this gene lead to various forms of thrombosis and dysprothrombinemia. Rapid increases in cytokine levels following coronavirus infections can dysregulate the coagulation cascade and produce thrombosis, compromised blood supply, and organ failure.

Q&As

Can you discuss the role of the F2 gene in the synthesis of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, and how disruptions in this process may lead to coagulation disorders?

The F2 gene plays a crucial role in the synthesis of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, including prothrombin. Disruptions in this process, often due to genetic or nutritional factors, can contribute to coagulation disorders, impacting hemostasis and blood clotting.

How is the F2 gene regulated at the transcriptional level, and what factors influence prothrombin synthesis in hepatocytes?

Transcriptional regulation of the F2 gene involves factors like vitamin K-dependent gamma-carboxylation. Hepatocytes synthesize prothrombin under the influence of vitamin K and other coagulation factors.

The F2 gene encodes prothrombin, a crucial factor in blood coagulation. Prothrombin is converted to thrombin, a key enzyme in the clotting cascade, facilitating fibrin formation.

The F2 gene encodes prothrombin, a crucial factor in blood coagulation. Prothrombin is converted to thrombin, a key enzyme in the clotting cascade, facilitating fibrin formation.

What are the implications of genetic variations in the F2 gene, particularly polymorphisms, on prothrombin function and susceptibility to thrombotic or bleeding disorders?

Genetic variations in F2, including polymorphisms, can influence prothrombin function. Certain variants may predispose individuals to thrombotic or bleeding disorders.

How does genetic variation in the F2 gene impact prothrombin levels, and what are the consequences for an individual's risk of thrombotic events?

Genetic variations in the F2 gene can influence prothrombin levels, affecting an individual's propensity for thrombotic events. Certain variants may predispose individuals to a higher or lower risk of abnormal blood clot formation.
