Thrombin normally cleaves fibrinogen to promote coagulation; however, binding of thrombomodulin to thrombin switches the specificity of thrombin toward protein C, triggering the anticoagulation pathway. The W215A thrombin mutant was reported to have decreased activity toward fibrinogen without significant loss
