Anti-Fibrinogen-like Protein 1 (FGL1, Hepassocin, Fibrinogen-like 1)

Fibrinogen-like 1 is a member of the fibrinogen family. This protein is homologous to the carboxy terminus of the fibrinogen beta- and gamma- subunits which contains the four conserved cysteines of fibrinogens and fibrinogen related proteins. However, this protein lacks the platelet-binding site, cross-linking region and a thrombin-sensitive site which are necessary for fibrin clot formation. This protein may play a role in the development of hepatocellular carcinomas. Four alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein exist for this gene. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications have not been tested. , Recommended Dilutions: Peptide ELISA Titer: 1:16,000, Western Blot: 0.1-0.3ug/ml detects an~ 35kD band observed in Human Liver lysates (calculated MW of 36.4kD according to NP_004458.3)., Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
