Which of the following physiological process associated with Thrombin?

Question

Accepted Answer

Blood clotting. Thrombin is associated with physiological process ‘blood clotting’. Thrombin is a unique molecule that functions both as a procoagulant and anticoagulant. Prothrombin is transformed into thrombin by a clotting factor known as factor X or prothrombinase; thrombin then acts to transform fibrinogen, also present in plasma, into fibrin, which, in combination with platelets from the blood, forms a clot (a process called coagulation),i.e., Thrombin + Prothrombin + Calcium = Thrombin Thrombin + Fibrinogen = Fibrin Fibrin + Blood corpuscles = Blood clot
