H-D-Phe-Pip-Arg-pNA dihydrochloride

H-D-Phe-Pip-Arg-pNA dihydrochloride (S-2238 dihydrochloride), a chromogenic substrate, mimics the N-terminal fragment of the A alpha chain of fibrinogen, the native substrate of thrombin. Specifically designed for thrombin detection, it is employed for quantifying antithrombin-heparin cofactor (AT-III) and is characterized by its sensitivity, accuracy, and ease of implementation.
