Heparin cofactor II precursor fragment is a thrombin inhibitor peptide targeting human thrombin (factor IIa) It is designed to inhibit thrombin activity thereby modulating blood coagulation pathways Heparin cofactor II precursor fragment exerts its biological activity primarily through serine protease inhibition facilitated in the presence of heparin or dermatan sulfate Based on these pharmacological properties heparin cofactor II precursor fragment holds research potential in investigating thrombin inhibition mechanisms blood coagulation pathways and conditions associated with altered coagulation such as heparin cofactor II deficiency and hypercoagulability disorders
