Fgb - fibrinogen beta chain Gene
Also Known as 2510049G14Rik
Species: Mus musculus
Summary
This gene encodes the beta subunit of the coagulation factor fibrinogen, which is a component of the blood clot. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed by Thrombin to release an N-terminal fibrinopeptide during the conversion of fibrinogen to insoluble fibrin polymer. The encoded protein interacts with the amyloid beta peptide to form fibrin clots of abnormal structure, and may play an important role in Alzheimer's disease. This gene is located adjacent to the genes encoding fibrinogen alpha and gamma subunits on chromosome 3. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
