This invention belongs to the field of biomedicine and relates to a procoagulant polypeptide TPTX and its applications. The procoagulant polypeptide TPTX of this invention can exert its procoagulant and hemostatic effects by specifically inhibiting plasmin activity. Experiments have shown that TPTX exhibits significant dose-dependent procoagulant and hemostatic effects in ferric chloride-induced mouse carotid artery thrombosis models, mouse liver hemorrhage models, mouse tail hemorrhage models, and mouse saphenous vein hemorrhage models, with effects superior to the positive control drug 6-aminocaproic acid. Simultaneously, TPTX can reduce the area of ​​atorvastatin-induced cerebral hemorrhage in zebrafish and improve their motor dysfunction. Mechanistic studies show that TPTX has an inhibitory constant Ki of 17.76 nM on plasmin and has no significant effect on the activity of seven other key serine proteases in the coagulation system, demonstrating a clear target and high selectivity. The procoagulant polypeptide of this invention can be used to prepare hemostatic drugs, possessing the advantages of high efficiency, clear target, and high selectivity, with broad prospects for clinical application.
