== Function == | |||
[[Fibronectin]] (Fn) is a glycoprotein which binds extracellular matrix components like integrin, collagen, fibrin and others. It is a component of cell adhesion<ref>PMID:12244123</ref>. | |||
== | == Relevance == | ||
Fn is associated with wound healing. Fn is a potential marker for radiation resistance. | |||
== | == Disease == | ||
Overexpression of Fn1 is associated with lung cancer<ref>PMID:16397245</ref>. | |||

= | <scene name='43/430871/Cv/3'>Fn is a dimer of homologous monomers</scene> linked by S-S bond. Each monomer contains 3 types of modules: FnI, FnII and FnIII. Each module contains several numbered protein binding domains, i.e., FnI<sub>6</sub>-FnII<sub>1-2</sub>-FnI<sub>7-9</sub> is the gelatin binding domain (GBD). | ||
