Thrombin is a Trypsin like Serine protease (1). It uses the serine amino acid to specifically cleave fibrinogen into fibrin (3).This forms a blood clot which stops blood from leaking out of the blood circulatory system in case of a rupture. It also catalyzes the activation of factor XIII which stabilizes the fibrin network (3). | Thrombin is a Trypsin like Serine protease (1).
