1. Fibrin

   Fibrin (also called Factor Ia) is a fibrous, non-globular protein involved in the clotting of blood. It is formed by the action of the protease thrombin on fibrinogen, which causes it to polymerize. The polymerized fibrin, together with platelets, forms a hemostatic plug or clot over a wound site. When the lining of a blood vessel is broken, platelets are attracted, forming a platelet plug. These platelets have thrombin receptors on their surfaces that bind serum thrombin molecules, which in turn convert soluble fibrinogen in the serum into fibrin at the wound site. Fibrin forms long strands of tough insoluble protein that are bound to the platelets. Factor XIII completes the cross-linking of fibrin so that it hardens and contracts. The cross-linked fibrin forms a mesh atop the platelet plug that completes the clot. Fibrin was discovered by Marcello Malpighi in 1666.

1. fibrin

   Fibrin is a fibrous, non-globular protein involved in the clotting process of blood. It is formed by the action of the enzyme thrombin on fibrinogen in the blood, resulting in a clotting mesh that helps prevent blood loss and facilitates healing in the event of injury. It is then slowly dissolved by the process of fibrinolysis to prevent clots from growing and becoming problematic.

1. Fibrin

   Fibrin is a fibrous, non-globular protein involved in the clotting of blood. It is formed from fibrinogen by the protease thrombin, and is then polymerised to form a "mesh" that forms a hemostatic plug or clot over a wound site. Fibrin is involved in signal transduction, blood coagulation, and platelet activation.
