Abstract
New forms of ecarin, a procoagulant protein from venom, are described, as are polynucleotides encoding the new proteins, methods for production of the new proteins, and methods for activation of prothrombin using the new proteins. The new ecarins comprise a serine at position 396 of the protein. The new proteins may be used for activation of prothrombin, and are particularly useful for the production of recombinant thrombin.
