fibrinogen-binding protein
This domain family is found in bacteria, and is approximately 70 amino acids in length. There is a conserved VLK sequence motif. It is the C terminal domain of bacterial extracellular fibrinogen binding protein. It contains a helical motif involved in complement regulation. This motif binds to complement and changes its conformation to a form which cannot activate downstream components of the complement cascade. [1]. 17351618.

fibrinogen-binding protein plays an important role in virulence and interacts with the alpha chain of fibrinogen and its derivative fibrin, which enhances a non-functional interaction between fibrinogen and platelets and is responsible for repression of fibrinogen-dependent platelet aggregation
