Background Information: Thrombomodulin (TM, CD141, and THBD) is an endothelial cell expressed transmembrane glycoprotein that can form a complex with the coagulation factor, Thrombin. The Thrombomodulin/Thrombin complex converts protein C to its activated form, protein Ca, which in turn proteolytically cleaves and deactivates factor Va and factor VIIIa, two essential components of the coagulation mechanism. This inactivation reduces the generation of additional thrombin and thereby effectively prevents continued coagulation. Reduced levels of Thrombomodulin can correlate with the pathogenesis of certain cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and thrombosis. However, the serum levels of the truncated circulating form of Thrombomodulin are typically elevated during inflammation and in the presence of various inflammatory related diseases. Recombinant soluble Thrombomodulin is a 491 amino acid glycoprotein containing the extracellular domain of Thrombomodulin.

Reconstitution Instructions: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. This solution can be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 week. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at -20°C to -80°C.
