Hirudin
From Proteopedia
Hirudin (Hir) is a powerful anticoagulant which is found in the leech salivary glands. It is an inhibitor of thrombin (Thr) which converts fibrinogen to fibrin upon blood clotting. Thrombin is produced upon enzymatic cleavage of prothrombin (ProThr). Hirugen (Hirg) is a dodecapeptide of the C-terminal of Hir (sequence NDGDFEEIPEEYL). The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative Hirudin, i.e. the NMR Structure of Hirudin (1hic). For additional details see Sean Swale/Human Thrombin Inhibitor.
