An albuminous substance existing in the blood, and in other animal fluids, which either alone or with fibrinoplastin or paraglobulin forms fibrin, and thus causes coagulation.
a high-molecular-weight protein in the blood plasma that, by action of thrombin, is converted to fibrin
A plasma protein that is produced in the liver and is converted into fibrin during blood clot formation.
a clotting factor in blood
Protein in the blood needed for blood clotting.
a protein in the blood involved in the formulation of blood clots; high levels increase the risk of a heart attack.
a high molecular weight plasma protein that is converted to fibrin by the action of thrombin.
A protein which plays an essential role in blood clotting during which it is converted into strands of fibrin
The precursor of fibrin that is present normally in the plasma and produced by the liver.
a plasma protein. It is changed to fibrin in the blood by thrombin.
Clotting factor in the blood, is converted into its active form (fibrin) by the enzyme thrombin.
(fi-BRIHN-o-jehn) A large plasma protein that plays an important role in blood clotting: it is converted to fibrin by thrombin.
A type of blood protein called a globulin that interacts with thrombin to form fibrin.
A plasma protein that is the soluble precursor of the fibrous protein fibrin.
Definition: 340 kDa protein with an overall homodimeric structure that is present at high concentrations in the plasma. Proteolytic cleavage of 4 small peptides by thrombin results in its polymerization to fibrin. The homodimeric structure allows fibrinogen to cross-bridge activated integrin IIb 3 integrin molecules on adjacent platelets, the crucial step in platelet aggregation.
a protein present in blood plasma; converts to fibrin when blood clots
a plasma protein that is converted to fibrin when it is released into the tissues and, together with thromboplastin and platelets, forms an interlacing network making a barrier to wall off an area
fi-BRIN-o-jen A protein that is the precursor of fibrin. 714
A plasma protein that is converted into fibrin by thrombin in the presence of calcium ions. Fibrin is responsible for the semisolid character of a blood clot.
Soluble plasma protein (340 kD, 46 nm long) composed of 6 peptide chains and present at about 2-3 mg/mL.
A protein in the blood plasma that is essential for the coagulation of blood and is converted to fibrin by the action of thrombin in the presence of ionized calcium.
Substance in the blood essential for the clotting process and, thus, to the maintenance of normal homeostatis. A high-molecular-weight plasma protein, Factor I, is converted to fibrin through the action of thrombin.
(fi-BRIN-uh-jen) A coagulation factor, also known as factor I, that is converted to fibrin by the action of thrombin.
A protein factor important in blood clotting.
A protein involved in coagulation. Fibrinogen reacts with other molecules to produce blood clots.
Factor I, a protein in the blood that is converted to fibrin by the action of thrombin
Fibrinogen is a substance present in blood plasma that causes blood coagulation.
A protein in the blood that helps it clot.
a plasma protein that is converted to fibrin (an insoluble protein, is the semisolid character of a blood clot) and is essential for clotting.
protein present in blood plasma that causes blood clots when the stress response is activated.
Fibrinogen is a protein produced in the liver, and secreted into the blood. It is the precursor to fibrin in the clotting process.
A type of protein in blood plasma that, under certain conditions, forms into long strands of fibrin, the framework molecule of a blood clot.
