Blood Plasma contains many vital proteins including fibrinogen, globulins and human serum albumin. Sometimes blood plasma can contain viral impurities which must be extracted through viral processing.
Fibrin is a protein involved in the clotting of blood. It is a fibrillar protein that is polymerised to form a "mesh" that forms a hemostatic plug or clot (in conjunction with platelets) over a wound site.
Globulin is one of the two types of serum proteins, the other being albumin. This generic term encompasses a heterogeneous series of families of proteins, with larger molecules and less soluble in pure water than albumin, which migrate less than albumin during serum electrophoresis.
Human serum albumin is the most abundant protein in human blood plasma. It is produced in the liver. The reference range for albumin concentrations in blood is 30 to 50 g/L (3.0 to 5.0 g/dL). It has a serum half-life of approximately 20 days.

In the biochem tute at Curtin University, we were told the four proteins were:
1. Serum Albumin
2. Serum Globulin
3. Serum Clotting factors (fibrinogen, prothrombin)
4. Transporting proteins ie. transferrin.

Albumins (60%) - regulating blood volume by maintaining the osmotic pressure of the blood compartment and for transporting fatty acids, thyroid hormones, some steroid hormones, and other substances in the bloodstream.
Globulins (35%) - used in the transport of ions, hormones and lipids assisting in immune function.
Fibrinogens (4%) - forming bridges between platelets, essential in the clotting of blood and can be converted into insoluble fibrin.
Regulatory (1%) - proteins such as enzymes, proenzymes and hormones.

Blood consists of -
1. Globular protein - haemoglobin
2. Fibrous protein - fibrin/ fibrinogen
I'm not sure but some amount of protein may also be present in the lymph or the blood corpuscles or the platelets.
sorry...i don't remember the others.

as answered by a n
1. globular proteins -haemoglobin .it helps in the oxygen transportation in the blood
2.fibrous proteins-fibrnogen/fibrin-helps in blood coagulation.
other proteins could be
3.regulatory proteins Eg. hormones(rugulates body functions Eg.insulin,it regulates blood glucose level)
4.catlytic proteins Eg.enzymes(catalyses body's chemical reactions Eg.oxidases,transferase etc.)
