It does not act on thrombin, trypsin or chymotrypsin and does not express fibrinolytic activity.
2.
The fibrinolytic activity is inhibited by EDTA, a metal chelator agent, which removes zinc from the molecule.
3.
Alternatively, a more rapid detection of fibrinolytic activity, especially hyperfibrinolysis, is possible with thromboelastometry ( TEM ) in whole blood, even in patients on heparin.
