fibrinopeptide b

Description

Fibrinopeptide B: Two small peptide chains removed from the N-terminal segment of the beta chains of fibrinogen by the action of thrombin. Each peptide chain contains 20 amino acid residues. The removal of fibrinopeptides B is not required for coagulation. [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

Research Excerpts

Overview

Fibrinopeptide B (FPB) is a short chain peptide cleaved from fibrinogen during the production of fibrins. Fibrinopeside B beta 1-42 is a marker specific for fibr inogen breakdown.

Effects

ExcerptReference
"Fibrinopeptide B (FPB) has been shown to be a potent chemotactic agent for macrophages, which are abundant as intimal foam cells in atherosclerotic lesions, especially in cholesterol-fed rabbits."( Role of fibrinopeptide B in early atherosclerotic lesion formation.

Dosage Studied

ExcerptReference
" The stimulation of fibrinogen mRNA levels appears to be mediated by the glucocorticoid receptor, because 1) the dose-response relationship parallels the reported affinity of dexamethasone for the Xenopus glucocorticoid receptor; and 2) the induction is blocked by RU 486, a potent antiglucocorticoid."( Coordinate regulation of fibrinogen subunit messenger RNA levels by glucocorticoids in primary cultures of Xenopus liver parenchymal cells.
