What is the solubility of fibrin in water?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Fibrin as a protein is insoluble in water. It forms a gel-like network structure when in contact with water, making it insoluble.
