What is Antithrombin III
Antithrombin III or Antithrombin (AT III), is another name for heparin cofactor I, a factor in plasma necessary for heparin to exert its anticoagulant activity. AT III is a natural anticoagulant synthesized in the liver.
It plays a major role in the regulation of hemostasis by inhibiting thrombin; factors IXa, Xa, XIa, and XIIa; kallikrein; and plasmin.
AT III deficiency predisposes patients to venous thromboembolic events by impairing the clearance of activated coagulation factors.
Thrombate III is AT III concentrate produced from pooled human plasma and indicated in patients with hereditary antithrombin III deficiency for treatment and prevention of thromboembolism, including peri-operative and peri-partum thromboembolism.
Another product, ATryn, is the first biological agent produced by genetically engineered animals (goats) and the first recombinant human antithrombin.
ATryn is produced utilizing recombinant DNA technology in which the DNA coding sequence for human antithrombin has been introduced along with a mammary gland-specific DNA sequence that directs the expression of antithrombin into the milk of goats.
ATryn is indicated for the prevention of peri-operative and peri-partum thromboembolic events in hereditary antithrombin deficient patients.
