Fibrinopeptide B
The fibrinopeptides, fibrinopeptide A (FpA) and fibrinopeptide B (FpB), are peptides which are located in the central region of the fibrous Fiber or fibre (from la, fibra, links=no) is a natural or artificial substance that is significantly longer than it is wide. Fibers are often used in the manufacture of other materials. The strongest engineering materials often incorpora ... glycoprotein fibrinogen (factor I) and are bond cleavage, cleaved by the enzyme thrombin (factor IIa) to convert fibrinogen into covalent bond, covalently-linked fibrin (factor IA) monomers. The N-terminus, N-terminal FpA is cleaved from the Fibrinogen alpha chain, Aα chains of fibrinogen and FpB from the Fibrinogen beta chain, Bβ chains of fibrinogen, with FpA released before FpB. Subsequent to their formation, fibrin monomers are converted to cross-linked fibrin polymers by the action of thrombin-activated factor XIII (fibrin stabilizing factor), and these fibrin polymers form the backbone ...
