protaminsulfát
Protaminsulfát, also known as protamine sulfate, is a medication used primarily as an antagonist to heparin. Heparin is a widely used anticoagulant that prevents blood clots. When excessive bleeding occurs during or after heparin administration, protamine sulfate can be administered to reverse heparin's anticoagulant effect. It works by binding to heparin, forming a stable complex that is inactive and can be cleared from the body.
Protamine sulfate is derived from the sperm of fish, typically salmon. It is a highly basic protein,
Beyond its use in reversing heparin, protamine sulfate has also been investigated for other potential applications.
