Identification and characterization of the fibrinogen-like domain of fibrinogen-related proteins in the mosquito, <it>Anopheles gambiae</it>, and the fruitfly, <it>Drosophila melanogaster</it>, genomes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The fibrinogen-like (FBG) domain, which consists of approximately 200 amino acid residues, has high sequence similarity to the C-terminal halves of fibrinogen β and γ chains. Fibrinogen-related proteins (FREPs), which contain FBG dom...
