Description

Predicted to have signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in blood coagulation, fibrin clot formation. Predicted to localize to fibrinogen complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital afibrinogenemia; familial visceral amyloidosis; and thrombophilia. Is expressed in liver and yolk syncytial layer. Orthologous to human FGA (fibrinogen alpha chain).
