NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a subunit of the coagulation factor fibrinogen, which is a component of the blood clot. The encoded protein is proteolytically processed by thrombin during the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. Mice lacking the encoded protein display bleeding in the peritoneal cavity, skin and soft tissues around joints immediately after birth, and are predisposed to spontaneous fatal abdominal hemorrhage as they grow. Pregnant mice lacking the encoded protein succumb to uterine bleeding during gestation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Uniprot Description
FGA: Fibrinogen has a double function: yielding monomers that polymerize into fibrin and acting as a cofactor in platelet aggregation. Defects in FGA are a cause of congenital afibrinogenemia (CAFBN). This is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by bleeding that varies from mild to severe and by complete absence or extremely low levels of plasma and platelet fibrinogen. The majority of cases of afibrinogenemia are due to truncating mutations. Variations in position Arg-35 (the site of cleavage of fibrinopeptide a by thrombin) leads to alpha- dysfibrinogenemias. Defects in FGA are a cause of amyloidosis type 8 (AMYL8); also known as systemic non-neuropathic amyloidosis or Ostertag-type amyloidosis. AMYL8 is a hereditary generalized amyloidosis due to deposition of apolipoprotein A1, fibrinogen and lysozyme amyloids. Viscera are particularly affected. There is no involvement of the nervous system. Clinical features include renal amyloidosis resulting in nephrotic syndrome, arterial hypertension, hepatosplenomegaly, cholestasis, petechial skin rash. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The FGA fga (Catalog #AAA135252) is an Antibody produced from Host: Rabbit; Source: Rabbit serum and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Rabbit anti mouse fibrinogen antiserum reacts with Mouse, rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's fibrinogen antiserum can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Formalin/Paraffin. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the FGA fga for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "fibrinogen antiserum, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
