A white, albuminous, fibrous substance, formed in the coagulation of the blood either by decomposition of fibrinogen, or from the union of fibrinogen and paraglobulin which exist separately in the blood. It is insoluble in water, but is readily digestible in gastric and pancreatic juice., The white, albuminous mass remaining after washing lean beef or other meat with water until all coloring matter is removed; the fibrous portion of the muscle tissue; flesh fibrin., An albuminous body, resembling animal fibrin in composition, found in cereal grains and similar seeds; vegetable fibrin.

What is the medical term meaning destruction of fibrin?
Fibrinous. Fibrin can also be referred to as blood Factor LA.
What is another term for fibrin sealants?
Fibrin sealants are also called fibrin glues
The basic event in the formation of a blood clot is the change of what?
fibrinogen to fibrin.
What is the solubility of fibrin in water?
Fibrin is insoluble in water. For a little more background knowledge, fibrin is a fibrous protein meaning that it comes in fibres. It is used by the body in the blood clotting process and creates a mesh around the damaged tissue which it uses to catch blood cells and platelets and form a clot. Fibrin has to be insoluble to do its job because there is a high concentration of water in the bloodstream. If fibrin was soluble, it would simply dissolve and it would not be able to form a clot. Hope this helps.
Is fibrin found in the circulatory or respiratory system?
Fibrin is found in the Circulatory System.
What causes the formation of fibrin strands in a sample?
Fibrin strands form when fibrinogen is converted into fibrin by the enzyme thrombin during the blood clotting process. Thrombin acts on fibrinogen to create fibrin monomers, which then polymerize into a network of fibrin strands that help to trap platelets and form a stable blood clot.
When clot forms what does fibrin convert to?
fibrin molecules converting them into an insoluble meshwork - the clot
What is fibrin in horses and how can you treat it?
Fibrin is a specific type of protein that is involved in blood clotting.
A protein that reacts with fibrinogen to form fibrin?
Thrombin cleaves fibrinogen to form fibrin.
How do you know the streptokinase will digest fibrin only and not good tissues?
Streptokinase specifically targets fibrin due to its ability to bind to plasminogen, converting it into plasmin, which then digests fibrin in blood clots. This action is selective because fibrin is a component of blood clots, whereas healthy tissues do not contain significant amounts of fibrin. Additionally, the enzymatic activity of plasmin is primarily aimed at fibrin and does not have the same affinity for other tissue components. Thus, while there is a risk of some collateral damage, the primary action of streptokinase is to dissolve fibrin in clots.
The sticky protein threads that function in blood clotting?
A blood clot is a semisolid gelatinous mass of coagulated consisting of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets enclosed in a fibrin network. A great variety of structural proteins are present in a blood clot, for instance haemoglobin in red blood cells, antibodies in white blood cells, and fibrin in the platelets.
Protein that reacts with fibrinogen to form fibrin?
The coagulation protein thrombin reacts with fibrinogen to form fibrin
