  • Description
    Mouse monoclonal [A17] to Fibronectin
  • SpecificityThere is no evidence for cross-reactivity with other connective tissue proteins (vitronectin, elastin, collagen, laminin).
  • Tested applicationsWB, ELISA, IHC-Fr, ICC/IF more details
  • Species reactivity
    Reacts with: Chicken, Cow, Human
  • Immunogen

    Tissue / cell preparation (Cow) - Lysed bovine corneal endothelial cells and extracellular matrix.

  • EpitopeEpitope is located in the 120kD cell binding fragment.
  • General notes


    This antibody inhibits integrin-mediated cell adhesion to the cell binding domain of fibronectin. It can be used to probe fibronectin conformation. Strong reaction is seen in ELISA with thrombospondin directly coated onto the microtiter well.

Target

  • FunctionFibronectins bind cell surfaces and various compounds including collagen, fibrin, heparin, DNA, and actin. Fibronectins are involved in cell adhesion, cell motility, opsonization, wound healing, and maintenance of cell shape.
    Anastellin binds fibronectin and induces fibril formation. This fibronectin polymer, named superfibronectin, exhibits enhanced adhesive properties. Both anastellin and superfibronectin inhibit tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis. Anastellin activates p38 MAPK and inhibits lysophospholipid signaling.
  • Tissue specificityPlasma FN (soluble dimeric form) is secreted by hepatocytes. Cellular FN (dimeric or cross-linked multimeric forms), made by fibroblasts, epithelial and other cell types, is deposited as fibrils in the extracellular matrix. Ugl-Y1, Ugl-Y2 and Ugl-Y3 are found in urine.
  • Involvement in diseaseGlomerulopathy with fibronectin deposits 2 (GFND2) [MIM:601894]: Genetically heterogeneous autosomal dominant disorder characterized clinically by proteinuria, microscopic hematuria, and hypertension that leads to end-stage renal failure in the second to fifth decade of life. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Sequence similaritiesContains 12 fibronectin type-I domains.
    Contains 2 fibronectin type-II domains.
    Contains 16 fibronectin type-III domains.
  • Developmental stageUgl-Y1, Ugl-Y2 and Ugl-Y3 are present in the urine from 0 to 17 years of age.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    Sulfated.
    It is not known whether both or only one of Thr-2064 and Thr-2065 are/is glycosylated.
    Forms covalent cross-links mediated by a transglutaminase, such as F13A or TGM2, between a glutamine and the epsilon-amino group of a lysine residue, forming homopolymers and heteropolymers (e.g. fibrinogen-fibronectin, collagen-fibronectin heteropolymers).
    Phosphorylation sites are present in the extracellular medium.
    Proteolytic processing produces the C-terminal NC1 peptide, anastellin.

Anti-Fibronectin antibody [A17] images

  • ab26245 staining fibronectin in bovine cumulus-oocyte complexes  by ICC/IF (immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were PFA fixed and permeabilized in Triton X-100 prior to blocking in 0.1% serum for 30 minutes at 37°C. The primary antibody (1/100 in 10% goat serum in polylvinylpyrrolidone) was incubated with the sample for 1 hour at 37°C. An FITC-conjugated goat anti-mouse polyclonal (1/100) was used as the secondary.  Chromatin was stained red by using the nuclear DNA stain propidium iodide.
