3rd semester 2nd MT Flashcards
Which protease are responsible for the destruction of the intrinsic tenase and the prothrombinase complexes?
Thrombin
Protein C
Which protein co factors are responsible for the destruction of the intrinsic tenase and the prothrombinase complexes?
Thrombomodulin
Pritein S
Throughput of K+ ch
1-2x10^8
What carries the most info on the memb. Topology of an ion ch?
Hydropathy plot
Streptokinase mechanism
Human plasminogen in a complex with streptokinase becomes a plasminogen activator
What is the mode of antifibrinolytic action of TAFIa?
Cleaves C terminal Lys residues -> decreases the binding site for the tPA and plasminogen in fibrin and moderates the cofactor function of fibrin in plasminogen activation
Coumarin effect, in what drug is it present?
Warfarin
Decreases blood clotting by blocking an enzyme called vitamin K epoxide reductase that reactivates vitamin K
When do Ca ch. permits Na entrance?
When Ca conc is decreased
How does thrombin activates platelets?
Hydrolysis of memb. Proteins
Increasing cytosolic Ca conc.
tPA job?
Protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots
Catalyzes plasminogen -> plasmin
K+ ch structure
Tetramer
What stabilizes fVIII?
vWf
What is the role of TXA2 and what cell produces it?
Pro thrombotic effect
Produced by activated platelets
Structure of ATP sens. K+ ch
Octamer
4 kir6.2
4 SUR
Thrombaxane is inhibited by
Aspirin
NO will lead to?
Vasodilation
Increased blood flow
2 functions of vWf?
Carrier of fVIII
Mediator of platelet adhesion at high shear
Synthesis of NO starts from?
Arg
What activates protein C?
Thrombomodulin bound thrombin
What is the mode of activation of streptokinase?
Forms a complex with human plasminogen in which plasminogen gains activity as plasminogen activator
