Fibronectin expression in the cardiovascular system.

Abstract excerpt

Fibronectin (FN) is a dimeric glycoprotein found in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of most tissues and serves as a bridge between cells and the interstitial collagen meshwork. It also influences diverse processes including cell growth, adhesion, migration, and wound repair. Multiple FN forms arise by the alternative splicing of a primary transcript originating from a single gene. The spatial and temporal...
