   fibrin
   Monomeric fibrin (323 kD) is produced from fibrinogen by proteolytic removal of the highly charged (aspartate- and glutamate-rich) fibrinopeptidesby thrombin, in the presence of calcium ions. The monomer readily polymerizes to form long insoluble fibres (23nm periodicity; half-staggered) that are stabilized by covalent crosslinking (by Factor XIII, plasma transglutaminase). The fibrin gel acts as a haemostatic plug.

    Fibrin
    `Fibrin` is a protein involved in the clotting of blood. It is a fibrillar protein that is polymerised to form a `mesh` that forms a hemostatic plug or clot (in conjunction with platelets) over a wound site. Fibrin is made from its zymogen `fibrinogen`, a soluble plasma glycoprotein that is synthesised by the liver. Processes in the coagulation cascade activate the zymogen prothrombin to the serine protease thrombin, which is responsible for con...

    fibrin
    Red blood cells trapped by fibrin An insoluble, fibrous protein that is essential to blood clotting. Developed in the blood from a soluble protein, fibrinogen, fibrin is laid down at the site of a wound in the form of a mesh, which then dries and hardnes so that the bleeding stops.
