Target Background	FGL1 (Fibrinogen-like protein 1), also known as hepatocyte-derived fibrinogen-related protein 1 (HFREP-1), HP-041, hepassocin (HPS), and liver fibrinogen-related protein 1 (LFIRE-1), is a liver-specific secreted protein belonging to the fibrinogen superfamily whose members share a fibrinogen domain at their C-termini. FGL1 is an immune suppressive molecule that inhibits the activation of antigen-specific T cells by acting as a major ligand of LAG3, and binds LAG3 independently of MHC class II.

Protein Information
Name	FGL1 {ECO:0000303\|PubMed:18039467, ECO:0000312\|HGNC:HGNC:3695}
Function	Immune suppressive molecule that inhibits antigen-specific T- cell activation by acting as a major ligand of LAG3 (PubMed:30580966). Responsible for LAG3 T-cell inhibitory function (PubMed:30580966). Binds LAG3 independently from MHC class II (MHC-II) (PubMed:30580966). Secreted by, and promotes growth of, hepatocytes (PubMed:11470158, PubMed:19880967).
Cellular Location	Secreted. Note=Secreted in the blood plasma
Tissue Location	Under normal conditions, liver-specific.
