Background
Fibronectin is an approximately 440kDa glycoprotein which plays a primary role in embryonic development, cell adhesion, growth, migration, differentiation, and wound healing. Fibronectin exists as a protein dimer, consisting of two nearly identical subunits. Each subunit is composed of three types of modules: type I, II, and III. There are two types of fibronectin in vertebrates: soluble plasma fibronectin and insoluble cellular fibronectin. Soluble plasma fibronectin produced in the liver by hepatocytes is a major protein component of blood plasma. Insoluble cellular fibronectin is secreted by various cells, primarily by fibroblasts, as a soluble protein dimer which is then assembled into an insoluble matrix in a complex cell-mediated process. The insoluble matrix formed by the cellular fibronectin is a major component of the extracellular matrix. Fibronectin is a ligand for fibrin, heparin, chondroitin sulfate, collagen/gelatin, and many integrin receptors.
