Description: The active of Bivalirudin substance is a synthetic 20 amino acid peptide. The amino acid sequence is Phe-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly- Asn-Gly-Asp-Phe-Glu-Glu-Ile- Pro-Glu-Glu-Tyr-Leu. The Mw is 2180 dalton.

Introduction: Bivalirudin directly inhibits thrombin by specifically binding as well to the catalytic site and to the anion-binding exosite of circulating and clot-bound thrombin. Bivalirudin is a specific and reversible direct thrombin inhibitor. Thrombin, which is a serine protease, plays a central role in the thrombotic process; it cleaves fibrinogen into fibrin monomers and activates Factor XIII to Factor XIIIa, allowing fibrin to develop a covalently cross-linked structure which stabilizes the thrombus. Thrombin also activates Factors V and VIII, which promotes further thrombin generation, activates platelets, stimulating aggregation and granule release.

Small volumes of Bivalirudin synthetic peptide vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS142912 is a synthetic peptide targeting Bivalirudin. Also known as Human Bivalirudin.
