Thromboplastinase, a new enzyme of bacterial origin has been reported and its preparation and mode of action described. To our knowledge, this is the only enzyme which is apparently specific for thromboplastin. The split of a phosphorus moiety, apparently necessary for thrombo-plastic activity has been correlated with enzyme action. The theoretical and practical implications of these observations are discussed.
