Thrombin
converts to fibrin during the clotting process
fibrinogen to fibrin.
Thrombin cleaves fibrinogen to form fibrin.
Fibrin is a protein that forms the main component of blood clots. It is derived from fibrinogen, which is a soluble plasma protein produced by the liver. When bleeding occurs, the enzyme thrombin converts fibrinogen into fibrin, leading to the formation of a mesh-like structure that helps to stabilize the clot and stop bleeding.
The coagulation protein thrombin reacts with fibrinogen to form fibrin
Fibrinogen
The plasma protein that is converted to fibrin is fibrinogen.
The coagulation protein thrombin is what reacts with fibrinogen. This is one form of fibrin.
Thromboplastin -> Prothrombin -> Thrombin -> Fibrinogen -> Fibrin
Thrombin is the enzyme that converts fibrinogen into fibrin, leading to the formation of blood clots. This process is essential for wound healing and preventing excessive bleeding.

The cascade of reactions involving thrombin, which is activated from prothrombin, leads to the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. This process involves the cleavage of fibrinogen to form fibrin monomers, which then polymerize to form a fibrin clot. This clotting cascade is a crucial step in the formation of a stable blood clot.
