It is a very rare blood coagulation disorder characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding symptoms. The severity of the bleeding manifestations correlates with blood factor II levels. Genetic variations in F2 may be a cause of susceptibility to ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR) [MIM:601367]; also known as cerebrovascular accident or cerebral infarction. A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. Defects in F2 are the cause of thrombophilia due to thrombin defect (THPH1) [MIM:188050]. It is a multifactorial disorder of hemostasis characterized by abnormal platelet aggregation in response to various agents and recurrent thrombi formation. Note=A common genetic variation in the 3-prime untranslated region of the prothrombin gene is associated with elevated plasma prothrombin levels and an increased risk of venous thrombosis. Defects in F2 are associated with susceptibility to pregnancy loss, recurrent, type 2 (RPRGL2) [MIM:614390]. A common complication of pregnancy, resulting in spontaneous abortion before the fetus has reached viability. The term includes all miscarriages from the time of conception until 24 weeks of gestation. Recurrent pregnancy loss is defined as 3 or more consecutive spontaneous abortions. Function [THRB_HUMAN] Thrombin, which cleaves bonds after Arg and Lys, converts fibrinogen to fibrin and activates factors V, VII, VIII, XIII, and, in complex with thrombomodulin, protein C.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Synthetic bivalent thrombin inhibitors comprise an active site blocking segment, a fibrinogen recognition exosite blocking segment, and a linker connecting these segments. Possible nonpolar interactions of the P1' and P3' residues of the linker with thrombin S1' and S3' subsites, respectively, were identified using the "Methyl Scan" method [Slon-Usakiewicz et al. (1997) Biochemistry 36, 13494-13502]. A series of inhibitors (4-tert-butylbenzenesulfonyl)-Arg-(D-pipecolic acid)-Xaa-Gly-Yaa-Gly-betaAla-Asp-Tyr-Glu-Pro-Ile-Pro-Glu-Glu-Ala- (be ta-cyclohexylalanine)-(D-Glu)-OH, in which nonpolar P1' residue Xaa or P3' residue Yaa was incorporated, were designed and improved the affinity to thrombin. Substitution of the P3' residue with D-phenylglycine or D-Phe improved the K(i) value to (9.5 +/- 0.6) x 10(-14) or 1.3 +/- 0.5 x 10(-13) M, respectively, compared to that of a reference inhibitor with Gly residues at Xaa and Yaa residues (K(i) = (2.4 +/- 0.5) x 10(-11) M). Similarly, substitution of the P1' residue with L-norleucine or L-beta-(2-thienyl)alanine lowered the K(i) values to (8.2 +/- 0.6) x 10(-14) or (5.1 +/- 0.4) x 10(-14) M, respectively. The linker Gly-Gly-Gly-betaAla of the inhibitors in the previous sentence was simplified with 12-aminododecanoic acid, resulting in further improvement of the K(i) values to (3.8 +/- 0.6) x 10(-14) or (1.7 +/- 0.4) x 10(-14) M, respectively. These K(i) values are equivalent to that of natural hirudin (2.2 x 10(-14) M), yet the size of the synthetic inhibitors (2 kD) is only one-third that of hirudin (7 kD). Two inhibitors, with L-norleucine or L-beta-(2-thienyl)alanine at the P1' residue and the improved linker of 12-aminododecanoic acid, were crystallized in complex with human alpha-thrombin. The crystal structures of these complexes were solved and refined to 2.1 A resolution. The Lys(60F) side chain of thrombin moved significantly and formed a large nonpolar S1' subsite to accommodate the bulky P1' residue.
