FunctionFibronectin (Fn) is a glycoprotein which binds extracellular matrix components like integrin, collagen, fibrin and others. It is a component of cell adhesion[1]. RelevanceFn is associated with wound healing. Fn is a potential marker for radiation resistance. DiseaseOverexpression of Fn1 is associated with lung cancer. Structural insightslinked 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., FnI6-FnII1-2-FnI7-9 is the gelatin binding domain (GBD). |
