CLINICAL MEASUREMENT - ANNOTATIONS

The Clinical Measurement Ontology (CMO), Measurement Methods Ontology (MMO), and Experimental Condition Ontology (XCO) are currently being developed at the Rat Genome Database.

Definition:Measurement of the amount of fibrinogen in blood, the fluid that circulates through the heart, arteries, capillaries and veins carrying nutrients and oxygen to the body tissues and metabolites away from them. Fibrinogen is a glycoprotein comprised of three pairs of nonidentical polypeptide chains; cleavage products of fibrinogen have a major role in blood clotting as well as roles in cell adhesion and spreading, display vasoconstrictor activity, and can function as chemotactic and mitogenic agents for several cell types.
