General description
Fibronectin is an extracellular matrix (ECM) glycoprotein. It is expressed in various cell types. Fibronectin exists as a dimer and is made up of identical subunits which are linked covalently via a disulfide bond at their C-termini.
Application
Fibronectin, Bovine Plasma has been used as an extracellular matrix (ECM) substrate to coat dishes or polyacrylamide hydrogels for adhering:
- human melanoma cancer cells
- human breast epithelial cells
- mouse embryonic fibroblasts
Biochem/physiol Actions
Fibronectin plays a role in cell adhesion, growth, migration, and differentiation. It binds to several molecules such as integrins, heparin, fibrin, and collagen.
Packaging
