Abstract

The gene coding for human thrombomodulin, a thrombin receptor on endothelial cells and a cofactor for the activation of anticoagulant protein C zymogen, was isolated from a human genomic library by employing human thrombomodulin cDNA as a probe. The nucleotide sequences of the gene and the adjacent 5' and 3' flanking regions were then determined. The nucleotide sequence of this gene with approximately 3.7 kilobase pairs was identical to that of the cDNA, indicating that the gene for human thrombomodulin is free of introns. Hybridization data showed that there is only a single thrombomodulin gene in the human genome.
