Descriptor English: Fibrinopeptide A
Descriptor Spanish: Fibrinopéptido A
Descriptor fibrinopéptido A
Scope note: Dos pequeñas cadenas de péptidos eliminadas del segmento N-terminal de las cadenas alfa del fibrinógeno por la acción de la trombina durante el proceso de la coagulación sanguínea. Cada cadena peptídica contiene 18 residuos de aminoácidos. In vivo, el fibrinopéptido A se emplea como marcador para determinar la velocidad de conversión del fibrinógeno en fibrina mediante la trombina.
