Recombinant Mouse Thrombomodulin (C-6His)

Recombinant Mouse Thrombomodulin is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Leu17-Ser517 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Thrombomodulin is also known as CD141 antigen and blood dendritic cell antigen 3 (BDCA3), which is encoded by the THBD gene. The deduced amino acid sequence of mouse THBD predicts a signal peptide (aa 1 to 16) and a mature chain (aa 17 to 577) that consists of the following domains: C-type lectin, EGF-like, transmembrane and cytoplasmic. Mouse THBD is corresponding to the extracellular portion of the type I membrane protein. Predominantly synthesized by vascular endothelial cells, THBD inhibits coagulation and fibrinolysis. It functions as a cell surface receptor and an essential cofactor for active thrombin, which in turn activates protein C and thrombinactivatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI), also known as carboxypeptidase B2 (CPB2). In addition, THBD gene polymorphisims are associated with human disease and THBD plays a role in thrombosis, stroke, arteriosclerosis, and cancer. Protein Function: Endothelial cell receptor that plays a critical role in regulating several physiological processes including hemostasis, coagulation, fibrinolysis, inflammation, and angiogenesis. Acts as a cofactor for thrombin activation of protein C/PROC on the surface of vascular endothelial cells leading to initiation of the activated protein C anticoagulant pathway. Also accelerates the activation of the plasma carboxypeptidase B2/CPB2, which catalyzes removal of C-terminal basic amino acids from its substrates including kinins or anaphylatoxins leading to fibrinolysis inhibition (By similarity). Plays critical protective roles in changing the cleavage specificity of protease-activated receptor 1/PAR1, inhibiting endothelial cell permeability and inflammation (PubMed:38174561). Suppresses inflammation distinctly from its anticoagulant cofactor activity by sequestering HMGB1 thereby preventing it from engaging cellular receptors such as RAGE and contributing to the inflammatory response (By similarity) [The Uniprot Consortium]
