Heparin lithium salt Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Heparin Lithium salt is a white to off-white powder, formed by the exchange of sodium ions with lithium ions.

Uses

Heparin is a polymer classified as a mucopolysaccharide or a glycosoaminoglycan. This product is biosynthesized and stored in mast cells of various mammalian tissues, particularly liver, lung, and mucosa. Commercial heparin is chiefly isolated from beef lung or pork intestinal mucosa. This product has been traditionally used as an anticoagulant. Heparin binds to antithrombin III, a naturally occurring plasma protease inhibitor, accelerating significantly the rate at which antithrombin III (AT-III) inhibits coagulation proteases (Factor Xa and thrombin).

Biological Activity

Heparin Lithium salt is an anticoagulant that binds reversibly to antithrombin III (ATIII). Heparin Lithium salt is used as an anticoagulant for laboratory studies and in direct membrane-feeding assays.
