Secondary Information

Protein Function Prothrombin plays a key role in hemostasis also suggests that it may be important for mouse development.
Biochemical Properties In general, a high degree of homology in the primary structure of prothrombin and intermediates was observed between the human and bovine system. The NH2-terminal sequences of human intermediate 2' and alpha-thrombin A chain are identical. However, human intermediate 2' isolated in a manner identical with that used for the isolation of bovine intermediate 2 is homologous with bovine intermediate 2, beginning with residue 14.

Significance of PTMs The gamma-carboxyglutamyl residues, which bind calcium ions, result from the carboxylation of glutamyl residues by a microsomal enzyme, the vitamin K-dependent carboxylase. The modified residues are necessary for the calcium-dependent interaction with a negatively charged phospholipid surface, which is essential for the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin.
Additional Comments Prothrombin deficiency in mice results in partial embryonic lethality.
