the final chain in the series of blood clotting forms fibrin from fibrinogen. Thrombin is formed from prothrombin by a prothrombin activator, itself the end of a series of reactions. This cascade of events may begin two ways. One, is the release of tissue factors from damaged vessels. The other, is the activation of factors in blood platelets which...

Protease (34 kD) generated in blood clotting that acts on fibrinogen to produce fibrin. Consists of two chains, A and B, linked by a disulphide bond. B-chain has sequence homology with pancreatic serine proteases: cleaves at Arg-Gly. Thrombin is produced from prothrombin by the action either of the extrinsic system (tissue factor + phospholipid) or, more importantly, the intrinsic system (contact of blood with a foreign surface or connective tissue). Both extrinsic and intrinsic systems activate plasma Factor X to form Factor Xa which then, in conjunction with phospholipid (tissue derived or platelet factor 3) and Factor V, catalyses the conversion. See also Table F1.
