Recombinant human FGB protein

FGB also known as fibrinogen beta chain isoform 1 found in humans and most other vertebrates with a similar system of blood coagulation. FGB is the beta component of fibrinogen, a blood-borne glycoprotein composed 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. Mutations in this gene lead to several disorders, including afibrinogenemia, dysfibrinogenemia, hypodysfibrinogenemia and thrombotic tendency. Recombinant human FGB protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli.
