fibrin
Wound-sealing protein
Fibrin is a protein that forms the structural basis of blood clots.
When tissue is damaged, a cascade of chemical reactions converts the soluble protein fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin, which creates a mesh of fibers that traps blood cells and platelets to seal wounds.
The surgeon noted fibrin deposits around the injury site.
