Mouse FG (Fibrinogen) ELISA Kit

The kit is a Sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of FG in serum, plasma and other biological fluids. Detection Range: 15.63--1000ng/mL. Sensitivity: 9.38ng/mL. Protein function: Cleaved by the protease thrombin to yield monomers which, together with fibrinogen beta (FGB) and fibrinogen gamma (FGG), polymerize to form an insoluble fibrin matrix. Fibrin has a major function in hemostasis as one of the primary components of blood clots (PubMed:7649481). In addition, functions during the early stages of wound repair to stabilize the lesion and guide cell migration during re-epithelialization (PubMed:11389004). Was originally thought to be essential for platelet aggregation, based on in vitro studies using anticoagulated blood (PubMed:7649481). However, subsequent studies have shown that it is not absolutely required for thrombus formation in vivo (PubMed:10930441). Enhances expression of SELP in activated platelets via an ITGB3- dependent pathway (PubMed:19332769). Maternal fibrinogen is essential for successful pregnancy (PubMed:7649481). Fibrin deposition is also associated with infection, where it protects against IFNG-mediated hemorrhage (PubMed:12629066). May also facilitate the immune response via both innate and T-cell mediated pathways (PubMed:23487423). [The UniProt Consortium]
