reptilase การใช้

Reptilase, an enzyme found in the venom of Bothrops snakes, has activity similar to thrombin.
Reptilase also differs from thrombin by releasing fibrinopeptide A, but not fibrinopeptide B, in its cleavage of fibrinogen.
In blood samples containing heparin, a substance derived from snake venom called batroxobin ( formerly reptilase ) is used instead of thrombin.
Unlike thrombin, reptilase is resistant to inhibition by antithrombin III . Thus, the reptilase time is not prolonged in blood samples containing heparin, hirudin, or direct thrombin inhibitors, whereas the thrombin time will be prolonged in these samples.
