| - | Fibrinogen is an essential protein in the coagulation, which is initiated through either an intrinsic or extrinsic pathway. Both pathways trigger a cascade of reactions that lead to the formation of a blood clot. At some point the protease thrombin is activated, thrombin then converts fibrinogen to fibrin. It does this by cleaving both the fibrinopeptide A and B off of the amino terminus of the alpha and beta chains.
