Fibronectin (Fn-3), CF640R conjugate, 0.1mg/mL

Fibronectins are disulfide-linked, dimeric glycoproteins of ~440 kDa. They possess at least four binding sites for collagen, glycosaminoglycans, transglutaminase, and a cell surface receptor. Epitope of this MAb is located in the 2nd-3rd type-III repeats of fibronectin. Fibronectins are extracellular matrix glycoproteins that are essential for embryonic development. Fibronectins are also 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 reacts with human cellular fibronectin, but not plasma fibronectin. Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
