Thrombin is an enzyme that cleaves bonds after Arg and Lys, converts fibrinogen to fibrin and activates factors V, VII, VIII. Prothrombin is activated on the surface of a phospholipid membrane where factor Xa removes the activation peptide and cleaves the remaining part into light and heavy chains. This domain corresponds to the light chain of thrombin.
Kringle domains have been found in plasminogen, hepatocyte growth factors, prothrombin, and apolipoprotein A. Structure is disulfide-rich, nearly all-beta.
