OX NCBI_TaxID=9863; RN [1] RP SEQUENCE. RA Blomback B., Blomback M., Grondahl N.J., Holmberg E.; RT "Structure of fibrinopeptides-its relation to enzyme specificity and RT phylogeny and classification of species."; RL Ark. Kemi 25:411-428(1966). CC -!- FUNCTION: Fibrinogen has a double function: yielding monomers that CC polymerize into fibrin and acting as a cofactor in platelet CC aggregation. CC -!- SUBUNIT: HEXAMER CONTAINING 2 SETS OF 3 NONIDENTICAL CHAINS CC (ALPHA, BETA AND GAMMA), LINKED TO EACH OTHER BY DISULFIDE BONDS. CC -!- PTM: Conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin is triggered by thrombin, CC which cleaves fibrinopeptides A and B from alpha and beta chains, CC and thus exposes the N-terminal polymerization sites responsible CC for the formation of the soft clot.
