Fibrinogen is a hexameric glycoprotein that has roles in coagulation and hemostasis.{53514,53515} It is comprised of two sets of A?, B?, and ? polypeptide chains encoded by FGA, FGB, and FGG, respectively, in humans.{53514} Fibrinogen is synthesized in hepatocytes and secreted into the plasma. Following thrombin-mediated cleavage of N-terminal fibrinopeptides from the A? and B? chains, yielding the ? and ? chains, respectively, fibrinogen assembles into fibrin protofibrils and then mature fibers, which provide structure and viscoelasticity to blood clots.{53515,53516,53518} Mutations in FGA, FGB, or FGG have been found in patients with afibrinogenemia or hypofibrinogenemia.{53514} Elevated plasma fibrinogen levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.{53517} Immune complexes containing citrullinated fibrinogen have been found in patients with anti-citrullinated protein antibody-positive rheumatoid arthritis.{21643} Cayman’s Fibrinogen (? chain) Monoclonal Antibody (Clone 6D6) can be used for Western blot (WB) applications. The antibody recognizes the ? chain of fibrinogen at 70 kDa from human samples.
