Entrez ID Entrez Gene ID - the GENE ID in NCBI Gene database.	2243
Gene name Gene Name - the full gene name approved by the HGNC.	Fibrinogen alpha chain
Gene symbol Gene Symbol - the official gene symbol approved by the HGNC.	FGA
Synonyms (NCBI Gene) Gene synonyms aliases	AMYLD2, Fib2
Chromosome Chromosome number	4
Chromosome location Chromosomal Location - indicates the cytogenetic location of the gene or region on the chromosome.	4q31.3
Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.	This gene encodes the alpha subunit of the coagulation factor fibrinogen, which is a component of the blood clot. Following vascular injury, the encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed by thrombin during the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin.

Protein

UniProt ID

P02671

Protein name

Fibrinogen alpha chain [Cleaved into: Fibrinopeptide A; Fibrinogen alpha chain]

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 o
