Where are albumin, fibrinogen and prothrombin made?

Answer 1

Albumin, fibrinogen and prothrombin are produced in the liver.

A significant amount of all plasma proteins are made up of albumin, a blood plasma protein that is produced in the liver.

The hepatocytes in the liver synthesize fibrinogen.

The liver produces prothrombin, which undergoes co-translational modification in a reaction that is dependent on vitamin K. This modification results in the conversion of ten glutamic acids on prothrombin to gamma carboxy glutamic acid.
