Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA and 50% glycerol. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

Specificity / Sensitivity

Fibronectin/FN1 Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total mouse or rat Fibronectin/FN1 protein.

Species Reactivity:

Mouse, Rat

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Asp111 of mouse Fibronectin/FN1 protein. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography.

Background

Fibronectin is a multi-domain extracellular matrix (ECM) protein. The protein uses its different domains to bind distinct ECM components such as collagens, growth factors, and cell surface integrins to carry on its functions (1). Fibronectin has been implicated in many essential biological processes, including tissue repair, fibrosis, and tumor development (1,2). There are many fibronectin isoforms. Plasma fibronectin is synthesized by hepatocytes and exists as a compact, inactive conformation in the bloodstream. It is a major component of fibrin clots. Upon binding to integrins or other cell surface receptors, fibronectin switches to an extended conformation, and exposes its function domains to activated extracellular matrix assembly (3). Fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and many types of cancer cells have also been shown to synthesize cellular fibronectin isoforms. Among them, the EDA or EDB isoforms are particularly highly expressed during fibrosis and cancer development, and are potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets (4-6).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v nonfat dry milk, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.

Fibronectin/FN1 Antibody

Western Blotting Image 1: Fibronectin/FN1 Antibody Expand Image
Western blot analysis of extracts from various cell lines using Fibronectin/FN1 Antibody (upper) and GAPDH (D16H11) XP® Rabbit mAb #5174 (lower). The absence of signal detected in mIMCD-3 extracts is consistent with reported molecular expression profiling data, confirming specificity of the antibody for fibronectin/FN1.
