Fibrinogen is a soluble plasma glycoprotein produced by the liver, playing a crucial role in blood coagulation. When a blood vessel is injured, fibrinogen is converted into fibrin by the enzyme thrombin, forming a mesh that helps stabilize blood clots. It also participates in wound healing and inflammation. Abnormal levels of fibrinogen can indicate various medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease and liver disorders.

Formation of a blood clot?
Platelets rupture, releasing thromboplatin Ca++ Prothrombin converted to thrombin fibrinogin converted to fibrin fibrin thread network, clot.
What is the function of prothrobmin thrombin and fibrinogin?
Prothrombin is a precursor protein that is converted into thrombin, an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the blood clotting process. Fibrinogen is a protein that is also involved in blood clot formation, as it is converted into fibrin, which forms a mesh-like structure to stabilize the clot.
