Human prothrombin is prepared from fresh frozen human plasma. Human Prothrombin is a glycoprotein of molecular weight 72,000, and consists of a single polypeptide chain. Activation of Prothrombin by Factor Va, Xa and phospholipids yields the serine protease Thrombin. Prothrombin purity is determined by SDS-PAGE and shows no reduction upon incubation with 2-mercaptoethanol.
