Which enzyme is responsible for the conversion of inactive fibrinogens to fibrins?
Which enzyme is responsible for the conversion of inactive fibrinogens to fibrins?
Thrombin
Renin
Epinephrine
Thrombokinase
Solution
Thrombin is a naturally occurring enzyme that converts fibrinogen into fibrin, which is an integral step in clot formation. In vivo thrombin is formed from prothrombin as a result of activation of both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways of the coagulation cascade.
