The misterious activity of thrombin in blood coagulation.

As we all know thrombin is the key player of blood coagulation. And it is activated by prothrombin activator. Then the thrombin causes blood coagulation by converting the soluble plasma protein fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin. After that the fibrin stabilizing factor (factor XIII) stabilize the clot. This is the most common mechanism we know. But there is another mechanism of action of fibrin and it is really very interesting. Do you know what is that? If yes please tell....

The answer will be available after 2 days...:)
