Abstract excerpt

Vitronectin (serum spreading factor, complement S protein, epibolin) is a glycoprotein that mediates cell adhesion and interacts with components of the complement, coagulation, and fibrinolytic systems. It circulates in plasma as a 75-kDa single chain polypeptide and as a two-chain form consistin...
