Product Information
TRAP-6 is a synthetic hexapeptide that activates the thrombin receptor independent of receptor cleavage. It corresponds to amino acids 42 to 47 of the thrombin receptor and mimics the effacts of thrombin. Thrombin is a very potent platelet activator. Its action is not blocked by anti-platelet drugs such as aspirin or Clopidogrel. TRAP-6 can be used as an alternative to Thrombin as a platelet activator as it is easily standardised and more stable than thrombin. TRAP-6 can be used to detect the action of GpIIb/IIIa antagonists such as Reopro, Aggrastat or Integrillin.
