摘要 |
A protease for activating the blood clotting factor VII is described, which a) is inhibited by the presence of aprotinin, b) is increased in its activity by calcium ions and/or heparin or heparin-related substances, and c) in SDS-PAGE, on subsequent staining in the non-reduced state, has one or more brands in the molecular weight range from 50 to 75 kDa and kDa in the reduced state has a band at 40 to 55 kDa and one or more bands in the molecular weight range from 10 to 35 kDa. The proenzyme of this protease is also characterized. Further, a process for obtaining this protease and its use in hemorrhage prophylaxis or hemostasis is described. Moreover, a test system for the qualitative and quantitative detection of a protease which activates the blood clotting factor VII is described.
