Rat Fn1 ELISA KIT (1 x 96 wells)

Specifications

Product Data
Description	The Fast version of Picokine ELISA kits, assay takes less than 1.5 hours. Detect Rat Fibronectin/FN1 with <15pg/ml sensitivity. Format: 96-well plate with removable strips. Compatible samples: cell culture supernates, serum and plasma(heparin, EDTA, citrate). This is a TMB colorimetric sandwich ELISA kit with short assay time and fast experiment set up. Fibronectin/FN1 tissue specificity: Plasma FN (soluble dimeric form) is secreted by hepatocytes. Cellular FN (dimeric or cross-linked multimeric forms), made by fibroblasts, epithelial and other cell types, is deposited as fibrils in the extracellular matrix.

Background	Fibronectin(FN) also known as LETS, is identified on the surfFN of fibroblasts by labeling with radioactive compounds or specific antibodies. Fibronectin is a 430,000-dalton dimeric glycoprotein that exists in 2 forms, termed cellular and plasma fibronectin. Cellular and plasma fibronectins are heterodimers consisting of similar but not identical polypeptides. These two forms of FN differ in biologic activity. Fibronectins bind cell surfFNs and various compounds including collagen, fibrin, heparin, DNA, and actin. Because fibronectin stimulates endocytosis in several systems and promotes the clearance of particulate material from the circulation, it could function in the clearance of C1q-coated material such as immune complexes or cellular debris. Fibronectins are involved in cell adhesion, cell motility, opsonization, would healing, and maintenance of cell shape. LETS, encoded on chromosome 8, is responsible for the LETS protein expression in humans. Because LETS has been implicated in tumorigenicity and cellular transformation, it is of interest that rearrangement or modifications in the number of chromosome 8 have been associated with certain forms of cancer. The standard used in this kit is isolated from rat plasma with the molecular mass of 200-250KDa.
Gene Symbol	Fn1
