Purification of a fibrinolytic protein from the yellow mealworm beetles, Tenebrio molitor

摘要

A novel of fibrinolytic protein was isolated from the Tenebrio molitor, using three purification steps (ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-32 cellulose chromatography column, and SephadexG-75 dextran gel column). After testing, the protein from Tenebrio molitor has fibrinolytic activity, and it relative molecular mass was 56.1 kD.
