Origin: [Cf. F. fibrine. See Fiber.]
Fibrin is a fibrous, non-globular protein involved in the clotting of blood. It is formed from fibrinogen by the protease thrombin, and is then polymerised to form a "mesh" that forms a hemostatic plug or clot over a wound site. Fibrin is involved in signal transduction, blood coagulation, and platelet activation.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
A protein derived from FIBRINOGEN in the presence of THROMBIN, which forms part of the blood clot.
