Other Information

**Key Characteristics** FGL2 is a member of the fibrinogen-like protein family, which consists of three members: FGL1, FGL2, and FGL3. FGL2 is characterized by its ability to bind to fibrinogen, fibrin, and other proteins, and its extracellular domain contains a calcium-binding site. The protein is also known as fibroleukin due to its ability to induce leukocyte activation and proliferation. FGL2 is expressed in various tissues, including the liver, spleen, and lungs, and is involved in the regulation of immune responses, particularly in the context of innate immunity. **Pathways and Functions** FGL2 is involved in several biological pathways, including: 1. **Immune response**: FGL2 plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses, particularly in the context of innate immunity. It is involved in the activation and proliferation of leukocytes, including neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages. 2. **Extracellular matrix regulation**: FGL2 is involved in the regulation of extracellular matrix homeostasis, particularly in the context of tissue repair and remodeling. 3. **Neutrophil degranulation**: FGL2 is involved in the regulation of neutrophil degranulation, which is a critical process in the immune response against pathogens. 4. **Negative regulation of defense response to virus**: FGL2 has been shown to have a negative regulatory effect on the defense response to viral infections, suggesting its potential role in modulating immune responses to viral pathogens. **Proteins and Signaling Molecules** FGL2 interacts with several proteins and signaling molecules, including: 1. **Fibrinogen**: FGL2 binds to fibrinogen, which is a key component of the coagulation cascade. 2. **Ficolin-1**: FGL2 interacts with ficolin-1, a pattern recognition receptor involved in the recognition of pathogens. 3. **T-cell receptor**: FGL2 interacts with the T-cell receptor, which is involved in the activation of T-cells. 4. **MHC molecules**: FGL2 interacts with MHC molecules, which are involved in the presentation of antigens to T-cells. **Significantly Expressed Cells** FGL2 is expressed in several cell types, including: 1. **CD14-positive monocytes**: FGL2 is expressed in CD14-positive monocytes, which are involved in the recognition of pathogens. 2. **CD16-positive monocytes**: FGL2 is expressed in CD16-positive monocytes, which are involved in the activation of immune responses. 3. **Dendritic cells**: FGL2 is expressed in dendritic cells, which are involved in the presentation of antigens to T-cells. 4. **Macrophages**: FGL2 is expressed in macrophages, which are involved in the clearance of pathogens and the regulation of immune responses. 5. **Kupffer cells**: FGL2 is expressed in Kupffer cells, which are involved in the clearance of pathogens and the regulation of immune responses. **Clinical Significance** FGL2 has been implicated in several pathological conditions, including: 1. **Autoimmune diseases**: FGL2 has been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. 2. **Cancer**: FGL2 has been shown to be overexpressed in several types of cancer, including breast and lung cancer. 3. **Infectious diseases**: FGL2 has been shown to play a role in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and HIV. In conclusion, FGL2 is a multifunctional protein involved in the regulation of immune responses, extracellular matrix homeostasis, and the pathogenesis of several pathological conditions. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of FGL2 in human health and disease.
