Origin of name edit

This will probably seem like a dumb question, but is the origin of this substance's name Dracula? I mean, considering it's used by vampire bats, it would seem like a grand coincidence of it weren't. Jeff Silvers 23:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, Id say the name origin is worth mentioning in the article. --71.199.220.196 (talk) 09:47, 31 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

I'm not a doctor, but this article looks like a joke. The real article seems to be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmoteplase .

Please correct either me or this page (or both if need be). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.203.68.10 (talk) 07:05, 23 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

I was shocked... edit

... when I saw this entry in wikipedia. It is not a joke, Dr. Rafael Apitz-Castro and his team discover the Draculin, but it is a total lie that this protein is used for heart disease. As a big protein (66kDa), it can not be used for treatment in any patient, we had been trying to detect the smallest inhibitory part of the protein against the activated Factor X. Moreover, we have been trying to get a recombinant protein but, because the active Draculin needs to be highly glicosylated, this post-translational modification is difficult to obtain with the standard techniques for molecular biology.
