Gene Information

General description

Fibrinogen, is a thrombin-coagulable soluble plasma 340kDa glycoprotein, composed of paired sets of three subunits i.e. α, β, γ. Among three subunits, β and γ subunits contain one N-glycosylation site, which is occupied by a biantennary N-glycan. It contains three pairs of disulfide bonded chains called α, β, γ which further folded into four structural domains: the D, E, connector and the COOH-terminal region of the Aα chain.
Monoclonal Anti-Fibrinogen (mouse IgG2a isotype) is derived from the hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse.

Specificity

The antibody is specific for human fibrinogen and recognizes an epitope sensitive to reduction commonly used in immunoblotting assays. It also reacts with synthetic human fibrinopeptides A and B, fibrinogen related peptides and baboon fibrinogen. No cross-reactivity with bovine, pig, sheep, horse, dog, goat, rabbit, guinea pig, or rat is observed.

Immunogen

purified haptoglobin from pooled human plasma containing the three major haptotypes.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Fibrinogen antibody produced in mouse has been used in:
  • enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
  • immunoblotting
  • fibrinogen adsorption assay

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fibrinogen, a blood coagulation protein, is regarded as the central protein in the blood coagulation system.Fibrinogen plays a crucial role in protecting the vascular network against the loss of blood after tissue injury.
Plasmin attacks the Aα chain COOH domain to produce the heterogeneous fragment X. After a series of degradation, it ended with terminal digestion products: fragments D and E which represent the major globular domains in fibrinogen. Mutations in this gene leads to several disorders including hypofibrinogenemia, afibrinogenemia.

The COOH-terminal portion of the A alpha chain of human fibrinogen is highly susceptible to proteolytic degradation. This property has prevented isolation of the COOH-terminal domain of fibrinogen for the direct investigation of its functional characteristics. Human fibrinogen was degraded
