Structural insightsFn is a dimer of homologous monomers linked by S-S bond. Each monomer contains 3 types of modules: FnI, FnII and FnIII. Each module contains several numbered protein binding domains, i.e., FnI6-FnII1-2-FnI7-9 is the gelatin binding domain (GBD). This is a test, Space Fill 297-307, of FN. FunctionFibronectin (Fn) is a glycoprotein which binds extracellular matrix components like integrin, collagen, fibrin and others. It plays an important role in cell adhesion, migration and differentiation[1][2]. In addition, Fn is also important for the adherence of pathogens to host tissues and the linking between proteins and cells[3]. RelevanceFn is associated with wound healing. Fn is a potential marker for radiation resistance. DiseaseOverexpression of Fn1 is associated with lung cancer[4].
