GlossaryFibrinogen

protein crucial for blood clot formation

Fibrinogen is a protein found in blood plasma that is essential for blood clotting. When an injury occurs, fibrinogen is converted by the enzyme thrombin into fibrin, which forms a mesh that helps to stop bleeding by creating a stable blood clot.
