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, & GAMMA), LINKED TO EACH OTHER BY DISULFIDE BONDS.
CC   -!- MISCELLANEOUS: CONVERSION OF FIBRINOGEN TO FIBRIN IS TRIGGERED BY
CC       THROMBIN, WHICH CLEAVES FIBRINOPEPTIDES A AND B FROM ALPHA & BETA
CC       CHAINS, AND THUS EXPOSES THE N-TERMINAL POLYMERIZATION SITES
CC       RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FORMATION OF THE SOFT CLOT.
