Also, we review data suggesting that platelets from different individuals differ in their capacity to generate thrombin, whereas platelets from a single subject support thrombin generation in a reproducible manner.

Where is thrombin found?

The thrombin (prothrombin) gene is located on the eleventh chromosome (11p11-q12).

What are contents of platelets?

Platelets contain dense granules, lambda granules and alpha granules. Activated platelets secrete the contents of these granules through their canalicular systems to the exterior.
