Anti-Human CD141/Thrombomodulin Rabbit Recombinant Antibody

Thrombomodulin, also known as CD141, is an endothelial cell surface glycoprotein that forms a 1:1 complex with the coagulation factor thrombin and plays an important role as a natural anticoagulant. Thrombomodulin serves to convert thrombin from a procoagulant protein into the activator for protein C. Once converted to activated protein C (APC), this protein serves as a major anticoagulant in blood (PMID: 2827310). Thrombomodulin is also located in other cells (keratinocytes, osteoblasts, macrophages,...) where it might be involved in cell differentiation or in inflammation (PMID: 9814688). In humans, thrombomodulin is encoded by the THBD gene. Mutations in this gene are a cause of thromboembolic disease, also known as inherited thrombophilia. Thrombomodulin is glycosylated and has an apparent molecular weight of 75 to 110 kDa (PMID: 1650405; 2827310).
