WHAT DOES PROTHROMBIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

prothrombin

Thrombin

Thrombin is a serine protease that in humans is encoded by the F2 gene. Prothrombin is proteolytically cleaved to form thrombin in the coagulation cascade, which ultimately results in the reduction of blood loss. Thrombin in turn acts as a serine protease that converts soluble fibrinogen into insoluble strands of fibrin, as well as catalyzing many other coagulation-related reactions.
