Metabolism of rabbit plasma-derived factor VII in relation to prothrombin in rabbits
Abstract
In the human circulation, factor VII is present in relatively low plasma concentration (0.01 microM) and has been reported to have a short half-life (t(1/2); 6 h). In contrast, prothrombin is present in a relatively high plasma concentration (2 microM) and has a relatively long catabolic half-life (t(1/2) = approximately 2-3 days). This report examines the metabolic characteristics of purified rabbit plasma factor VII and prothrombin, …
