FGB - fibrinogen beta chain Gene
Also Known as HEL-S-78p
Species: Homo sapiens
About FGB
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 198 orthologues, 25 paralogues and is associated with 6 phenotypes. Restricted expression toward liver (RPKM 2456.5).
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is the beta component of fibrinogen, a blood-borne glycoprotein comprised of three pairs of nonidentical polypeptide chains. Following vascular injury, fibrinogen is cleaved by Thrombin to form fibrin which is the most abundant component of blood clots. In addition, various cleavage products of fibrinogen and fibrin regulate cell adhesion and spreading, display vasoconstrictor and chemotactic activities, and are mitogens for several cell types. Fibrinogen serves key roles in hemostasis and antimicrobial host defense. Mutations in this gene lead to several disorders, including afibrinogenemia, dysfibrinogenemia, hypodysfibrinogenemia and thrombotic tendency. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]
