Fgg Gene Summary [Mouse]

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]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Fgg often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
