From: Biochemical characterization of bovine plasma thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI)
Bovine TAFIa is more stable at 37°C than human TAFIa. Bovine (filled circles) or human (open circles) TAFI (3 μg of each) were added thrombin/solulin complex (using optimal conditions as determined in the method section), placed at 37°C, and subjected to HPLC based kinetic assays using Hip-Arg substrate at the indicated intervals. Bovine TAFIa is more stable than human TAFIa, as seen by a half-life that is twice as long (i.e., 10 min vs. 5 min).
