31. This large burst of thrombin is responsible for fibrin polymerization to form a thrombus. 32. Factor V is able to bind to activated platelets and is activated by thrombin . 33. It inhibits proteases like chymotrypsin, kallikrein, plasmin, thrombin , and trypsin. 34. Thrombin is a serine proteinase that plays a central role in the thrombotic process.35. Thrombin is added to the samples of plasma.36. Fibrin consists of the blood proteins fibrinogen and thrombin which participate in blood clotting. 37. Cancer has long been known to increase levels of thrombin and to cause hypercoagulability. 38. DX-9065a was the first synthetic compound that inhibited FXa without inhibiting thrombin . 39. It has been shown to pose a greater health risk than human-derived thrombin . 40. Heparin increases the affinity of antithrombin to thrombin ( as well as factor Xa ).
