FN1 Antibody / Fibronectin

Epitope of this mAb is located in the 8th type III repeat in the cell-binding region of fibronectin. Fibronectins are disulfide-linked, dimeric glycoproteins of ~440kDa. They possess at least four binding sites for collagen, glycosaminoglycans, transglutaminase, and a cell surface receptor. Fibronectins are involved in cell adhesion, tissue organization, and wound healing. Fibronectins are present in basement membranes, interstitial connective tissue matrix, and blood. Cellular fibronectin is widely distributed in the stroma of many malignant tumors. This mAb is excellent for staining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues.
