4470-2304F detects human fibronectin, a protein which can bind cell surfaces and various compounds including collagen, fibrin, heparin, DNA, and actin. Fibronectin is present in the body in two forms; plasma fibronectin (soluble dimeric form) is secreted by hepatocytes, whilst cellular fibronectin (dimeric or cross-linked multimeric forms), made by fibroblasts, epithelial and other cell types, is deposited as fibrils in the extracellular matrix.
Fibronectin is involved in cell adhesion and migration processes including embryogenesis, wound healing, blood coagulation, host defense, and metastasis. Interaction with Tenascin-R mediates inhibition of cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth.
4470-2304F may cross react with fibronectin from other species.
