 '''Fibrinogen''' is a glycoprotein found in the blood that is converted into fibrin during blood coagulation. Fibrinogen is cleaved by another protein, [[thrombin]], exposing knobs A and B to form fibrin. <ref>PMID:16689770</ref> It is this fibrin that forms clots to prevent excessive bleeding from wounds sustained. Clotting factors, like factor XIII, are often linked to fibrin. <ref>PMID:18673233</ref>
+Fibrinogen is composed of 2 copies each of 3 non-identical chains alpha, beta, gamma (<scene name='Fibrinogen/Fba/1'>Fba</scene>, <scene name='Fibrinogen/Fbb/1'>Fbb</scene>, <scene name='Fibrinogen/Fbg/1'>Fbg</scene>).
