Informations sur le produit

• Nom: Hirudin from leeches
• Marque: Biosynth
• Description: Hirudin is a potent anticoagulant protein, which is a naturally occurring compound sourced from the salivary glands of medicinal leeches, specifically *Hirudo medicinalis*. It functions by directly inhibiting thrombin, a key enzyme in the blood coagulation process, thereby preventing fibrin formation and subsequent clot development. Hirudin achieves its effects by binding to both the active site and the exosite of thrombin, effectively neutralizing its coagulative activity.
