Medical Definition of Factor ii

1. A protein which is synthesised by the liver. Fibrinogen is converted to fibrin, in the formation of a blood clot, via the enzymatic action of thrombin. A fibrinogen assay measures the concentration of fibrinogen in the blood and may be used to evaluate abnormal blood clotting. A lack of fibrinogen may be congenital or acquired. A condition known as DIC results in the excessive utilisation and depletion of fibrinogen. Synonym: thrombin. (15 Nov 1997)
