Anti-Fibronectin antibody, Mouse monoclonal clone IST-3, purified from hybridoma cell culture

Two types of Fibronectin are present in vertebrates: soluble plasma Fibronectin and insoluble cellular Fibronectin. The plasma form of Fibronectin (formerly known as cold-insoluble globulin or CIG) is synthesized by hepatocytes, secreted to blood and upon tissue injury, is incorporated into fibrin clots effecting platelet function and mediating hemostasis.8 Cellular Fibronectin is synthesized by many cell types, including fibroblasts, endothelial cells, chondrocytes, synovial cells and myocytes. It is assembled by cells as they migrate into the clot to reconstitute damaged tissue.
