Insoluble protein that forms the essential portion of the blood clot.
A protein derived from fibrinogen in the presence of thrombin, which forms part of the blood clot.
The blood protein formed from fibrinogen which is responsible for the clotting of blood.
The ordered fibrous array of fibrin monomers, called a fibrin platelet clot (blood clot), which spontaneously assembles from fibrin monomers (which themselves are formed by the thrombin-catalyzed conversion of fibrinogen into fibrin). Fibrinogen itself is the product of a controlled series of zymogen activation steps (enzymatic cascade) triggered initially by substances that are released from body tissues as a consequence of trauma (harm) to them.
A protein material produced by the action of thrombin on fibrinogen.
A sticky substance that combines with blood cells to form a clot in the healing of a wound.
A protein produced by fibrinogen, which helps make blood coagulate.
Protein formed by action of thrombin and fibrogen: basis for blood clotting.
Insoluble protein in the blood that combines with similar molecules, red and white blood cells, and platelets to form a blood clot. Fibrin is formed by the action of thrombin on its precursor fibrinogen.
The final product of the process of blood coagulation, produced by the action of the enzyme thrombin on a soluble precursor fibrinogen. The product thus formed (fibrin monomer) links up (polymerizes) with similar molecules to give a fibrous meshwork that forms the basis of a blood clot, which seals off the damaged blood vessel.
A substance formed in the blood as it clots. It is produced in threads, which form a meshwork and then contract to produce a dense, felted mass. This substance is formed not only from shed blood but also from lymph which exudes from the lymph vessels. Thus fibrin is found in all inflammatory conditions, and within serous cavities like the pleura, peritoneum, and pericardium, forming a thick coat upon the surface of the inflamed membranes. It is also found in inflamed joints, and in the lung as a result of pneumonia.
A whitish, filamentous protein formed by the action of thrombin on fibrinogen. The conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin is the third and final stage of blood clotting. The fibrin is deposited as fine interlacing filaments which entangle red and white blood cells and platelets, the whole forming a coagulum, or clot.
A white insoluble protein formed by blood clotting which serves as the starting point for wound repair and scar formation.
A fibrous protein found in the bloodstream that plays a crucial role in the process of coagulation and the formation of blood clots.
Fibrin is a substance generated in the blood as part of the blood clotting process. It is created from a soluble protein called fibrinogen. When clotting occurs, fibrin forms elongated filaments that entangle clusters of platelets and other blood cells, forming a cohesive mass that plugs the site of bleeding. In doing so, it effectively stops further blood loss from the injured area.
A material that accumulates during blood clotting and then tightens to create a clot.
