Function

protease thrombin cleaves fibrinogen into monomers. The formation of monomers, fibrinogen beta, and fibrinogen alpha is insoluble fibrin matrix. fibrin works as a binding or trapping agent in the coagulation process, which creates blood clot.

For small wounds, the polymerized fibrin with platelets forms a hemostatic plug over the wounds site. Fibrin is also anti inflammatory which it protects against IFNG- mediated hemorrhage.

Afibrinogenemic pregnant patients will result in spontaneous miscarriage. Fibrinogen supplemental will allow the patients to sustain the pregnancy, therefore, maternal fibrinogen plays a important role for successful pregnancy.^[3]

Disease

Congenital afibrinogenemia (CAFBN) This is an inherited blood disorder where the blood does not clot normally. This disease is caused by truncating mutations. Changing in position Arg-35 when Thrombin cleaves the site of Fibrinopeptide leads to alpha- Dysfibrinogenemias. ^[4]
