Target Details
- Target: Fibronectin
- Target background: Fibronectin is a widely expressed extracellular matrix glycoprotein that is exists in two forms, a soluble plasma form and a less soluble cellular form. Fibronectin is involved in cell adhesion, maintenance of cell shape and migration processes including embryogenesis, wound healing, blood coagulation, host defence, and metastasis. Cellular fibronectin is often found in the stroma of malignant tumours. Fn-3 can distinguish between human cellular and plasma fibronectin, thus making it possible to analyse the origin and levels of different types of fibronectin in normal human tissues and their related tumours.
