Biological function
Protamines are polycationic, highly basic polypeptides that bind to DNA and substitute for the somatic histones and transition proteins required for spermatogenesis in vertebrates.

The highly positively charged nature of protamines allows them to electrostatically bind to the negatively charged heparin molecules there fore neutralizing the anticoagulant effects of heparin following cardiovascular surgery.

  • Production of medical or pharmaceutical compounds (human or animal)
