Application

Anti-FN1 polyclonal antibody is used to tag plasma fibronectin (CIG) for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in cells and tissues by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to study the possible roles of fibronectin (CIG) in the adherence of monocytes to cell matricies and solid surfaces coated with materials such as gelatin.

Biochem/physiol Actions

FN1 is a glycoprotein present in a soluble dimeric form in plasma, and in a dimeric or multimeric form at the cell surface and in extracellular matrix. Fibronectin is involved in cell adhesion and migration processes including embryogenesis, wound healing, blood coagulation, host defense, and metastasis.

General description

Fibronectins are a class of immunochemically related glycoproteins present in basement membranes, collective tissues and blood wherein they mediate adhesion between matrix components and cells. Plasma fibronectin (CLG) mediates the attachment of monocytes (fibroblasts, macrophages) to various cell matrices and materials such as gelatin.
