Description

Fibrinopeptide B (FPB) is a protein fragment of the blood clotting process. It is a member of the group of fibrinopeptides, which are formed by proteolytic cleavage of the precursor prothrombin. FPB is a low molecular weight peptide with an amino acid sequence that contains tryptophan and arginine residues, which are susceptible to oxidation by radiation. The presence of FPB in plasma can be used as an indicator for exposure to ionizing radiation. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry has been used to identify and quantify FPB in human plasma samples. This technique has also been applied to monitor the proteomic profile of activated platelets with high sensitivity using matrix molecules such as glycerol, ethylene glycol, and formamide as matrices for MALDI analysis.
