Summary: This gene encodes the gamma subunit of the coagulation factor fibrinogen, which is a component of the blood clot. Mice lacking the encoded protein did not possess detectable amounts of plasma fibrinogen. Pregnant mice lacking the encoded protein die due to heavy bleeding during delivery. This gene is located adjacent to the genes encoding fibrinogen alpha and gamma subunits on chromosome 3. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]

These findings provide insight into assembly of the fibrinogen/FXIII-A2B2 complex in both physiologic and therapeutic situations.

Title: Fibrin, γ'-fibrinogen, and transclot pressure gradient control hemostatic clot growth during human blood flow over a collagen/tissue factor wound.
Fibrinogen from mice harboring the Fibgamma390-396A mutation exhibited reduced binding to FXIII, and plasma from these mice exhibited delayed FXIII activation and fibrin crosslinking, indicating these residues mediate FXIII binding and activation.

smaller thrombi result from the ability of fibrin to bind and sequester thrombin and/or the ability of the altered fibrinogen molecules, which cannot recruit platelets, to bind to and passivate the surface.
Title: Antibody blockade or mutation of the fibrinogen gamma-chain C-terminus is more effective in inhibiting murine arterial thrombus formation than complete absence of fibrinogen.
The Studies have shown that gamma chain binding to thrombin and factor XIII results in clots that are mechanically stiffer and resistant to fibrinolysis, which may explain the association between gammaA/gamma' fibrinogen levels and cardiovascular disease.
Title: Pathophysiologic roles of the fibrinogen gamma chain.
Platelet receptor engagement of the Fgg chain contributes to the stable incorporation of platelets into thrombi. Fibrinogen is internalized through alpha IIb beta 3 engagement of the Fgg chain; this interaction controls fibronectin content of platelets.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

NM_001317105.1 → NP_001304034.1 fibrinogen gamma chain isoform 2 precursor

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an exon and its 3' terminal exon extends past a splice site that is used in variant 1. This results in a novel 3' coding region and 3' UTR, compared to variant 1. It encodes isoform 2 which is longer and has a distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 1.
