Product details
Abcam's Prothrombin Pig in vitro ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the quantitative measurement of prothrombin levels in plasma and serum samples.
A Prothrombin specific antibody has been precoated onto 96-well plates and blocked. Standards or test samples are added to the wells and subsequently a Prothrombin specific biotinylated detection antibody is added and then followed by washing with wash buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex is added and unbound conjugates are washed away with wash buffer. TMB is then used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow coloration is directly proportional to the amount of Prothrombin captured in plate.
The entire kit may be stored at -20°C for long term storage before reconstitution - Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Biological function summary
Prothrombin regulates hemostasis and is part of the prothrombinase complex along with factor Xa factor Va calcium ions and phospholipids. This complex allows for the precise regulation of thrombin generation on the surface of activated platelets. By controlling the formation of thrombin prothrombin affects not only blood coagulation but also influences cell proliferation inflammation and tissue repair. The careful balance of prothrombin activation is important to prevent excessive bleeding or clot formation.
Pathways
Prothrombin is an essential component of the coagulation cascade especially the intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation pathways. In these pathways it links with proteins such as fibrinogen and factor X contributing to the amplification and perpetuation of thrombin generation. Additionally thrombin produced from prothrombin engages in a feedback loop to further enhance factor V VIII and XI activation. Through these actions prothrombin helps maintain normal coagulation but must be tightly regulated to prevent thrombotic complications.
