Hepassocin, also known as Hepatocyte-derived fibrinogen-related protein 1 (HFREP-1) and Fibrinogen-Like Protein 1 (FGL1), is a liver-specific secreted protein belonging to the fibrinogen superfamily whose members share a fibrinogen domain at their C-termini. FGL1 is a 68-KD protein comprised of a disulfide bond-linked homodimer. Its carboxyl terminus contains the β and γ subunits, which are highly homologous to fibrinogen but irrelevant to coagulation-related binding sites. Under normal physiological conditions, FGL1 is secreted mainly by hepatocytes in the liver (some of which may also exist in the pancreas). It is now clear that FGL1 is the product of hepatocyte regeneration and participates in hepatocyte mitosis and liver energy utilization (including lipid metabolism and blood glucose regulation). Apart from the above functions, FGL1 can also be detected in the plasma as an acute reactant, implying that FGL1 secreted by the liver acts not only on hepatocytes (autocrine) but also on other tissues, such as muscle and brown adipose tissues (telecrine). Under stimulation by metabolic factors (hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hormones, etc.), the liver secretes FGL1 and participates in the blood circulation. This function of FGL1 acts on brown adipose tissue, regulates body productivity and maintains body temperature. Moreover, FGL1 also acts on muscle tissue and affects the sensitivity of myoblasts to insulin.
