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

Please refer to vial label for lot-specific concentration.

In the process of matrix assembly, multivalent extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins are induced to self-associate and to interact with other ECM proteins to form fibrillar networks. Matrix assembly is usually initiated by ECM glycoproteins binding to cell surface receptors, such

Microtubule-associated serine/threonine-protein kinase-like (MASTL) is a mitosis-accelerating kinase with emerging roles in cancer progression. However, possible cell cycle-independent mechanisms behind its oncogenicity remain ambiguous. Here, we identify MASTL as an activator of cell contractility and MRTF-A/SRF (myocardin-related transcription factor A/serum

Fibrillar adhesions are important structural and adhesive components in fibroblasts, and are required for fibronectin fibrillogenesis. While nascent and focal adhesions are known to respond to mechanical cues, the mechanoresponsive nature of fibrillar adhesions remains unclear. Here, we used ratiometric
