Thrombin is acoagulationprotein that is present in the blood of humans and other animals. It is a key protein in thrombrogenesis, which is the process by which blood clots are created. Thrombrogenesis is just one step inhemostasis, which is the overall process by which bleeding because of ...
SARS-CoV-2 related infection is characterized by some pathogenetic events, resembling those detectable in other pathological conditions, such as sepsis and severe acute pancreatitis. All these syndromes are characterized by some similar features, including the coexistence of an exuberant inflammatory- as ...
(This is a normal mechanism, not like a blood clot that can form in the veins of your legs and, if it travels to your lungs, can put your life at risk.) In this complex process known as a coagulation cascade, an enzyme in your blood called thrombin allows a protein called fibrinogen...

(indicated by high levels of AMP), PFK-1 becomes more active, allowing for increased glucose breakdown to produce energy. Blood clotting involves a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Thrombin, a central enzyme in this cascade, is allosterically activated by binding to the substrate fibrinogen. ...
This contributes to unregulated thrombin production, leading to rapid coagulation and elevated pro-inflammatory activity. Increased mortality in septic patients with low activated protein C levels has shown the significance of protein C in controlling thrombin production during sepsis [19]. TFPI is the ...
Infection of the host cells is facilitated by the interaction of the viral spike protein, a surface protein, with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) integral protein that is expressed on the surface of the host cells (reviewed in [4]). The virus enters the host’s cells through re...
Moreover, the interaction of a ligand with its receptor has been related to self-assembly. The morphology of molecular assemblies produced by enzyme instructed assembly of small molecules is crucially dependent on ligand–receptor interactions. For example, it has been indicated that the ligand–...
In recent years the first-line treatment of advanced renal cancer cell was implemented by new combination strategy. However, despite numerous research efforts, the choice of the type of treatment is still entrusted to clinical parameters. In this review we deepened the role of the complement system...
ApoB is the main protein of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and is further divided into ApoB48 in the intestine and ApoB100 in the liver. Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) is produced by the liver, contains ApoB100, and is metabolized into its remnants, intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL...
