Fibrinogen Conversion

Fibrinogen conversion is a key process in blood clotting. When a blood vessel is injured, the body activates proteins in the blood. One of these proteins, called thrombin, transforms fibrinogen—a soluble protein—into fibrin, which is an insoluble fiber. Fibrin strands weave together to form a mesh that traps blood cells, creating a stable blood clot. This action is crucial for stopping bleeding and initiating repair in the damaged area, thus playing a vital role in hemostasis (stopping bleeding) and thrombosis (forming clots).
