About FGG

Cytogenetic location: 4q32.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 4:154,604,136-154,612,656 (from NCBI)

This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 208 orthologues, 25 paralogues and is associated with 6 phenotypes. Restricted expression toward liver (RPKM 3614.5).

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is the gamma 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. Mutations in this gene lead to several disorders, including dysfibrinogenemia, hypofibrinogenemia and thrombophilia. Alternative splicing results in transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
