ABSTRACT:
Trigramin, a 72-amino acid polypeptide, has the following amino acid sequence: EAGEDCDCGSPANPCCDAATCKLIPGAQCGEGLCCDQCSFIEEGTVCRIARGDDLDDYCNGRSAGCPRNPFH. The molecule is a potent inhibitor of fibrinogen binding to receptors expressed on the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa complex in the membrane of platelets. Trigramin is thus a potent inhibitor of fibrinogen-induced human platelet aggregation. It is useful in inhibiting the formation of hemostatic platelet plugs.
