Fibronectin Rat, Purified Protein (Plasma)

Description Fibronectin Rat, Purified Protein is purified from rat plasma and has a molecular weight of 220 kDa.
Fibronectin is useful for the induction of cell attachment to a variety of surfaces including plastic and glass tissue culture labware, petri dishes, coverslips, microcarrier beads, etc. Fibronectin is useful for growth and maintenance of cells in low serum conditions. In general, the reconstituted fibronectin should be diluted with sterile physiological saline or serum-free medium to a concentration of 10-50 µg/ml. Summary Fibronectin is an ubiquitous extracellular glycoprotein that exists in a soluble form in body fluids and in an insoluble form in the extracellular matrix. It plays a major role in many important physiological processes, such as embryogenesis, wound healing, hemostasis, thrombosis, blood clotting, and cell migration/adhesion. Fibronectin consists in two main forms: 1) as an insoluble glycoprotein dimer that serves as a linker in the extracellular matrix a
