Anti-SZP

The Uses of Anti-SZP

Anti-FN1 polyclonal antibody is used to tag plasma fibronectin (CIG) for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in cells and tissues by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to study the possible roles of fibronectin (CIG) in the adherence of monocytes to cell matricies and solid surfaces coated with materials such as gelatin.

The Uses of Anti-SZP

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

General Description

Fibronectins are a class of immunochemically related glycoproteins present in basement membranes, collective tissues and blood wherein they mediate adhesion between matrix components and cells. Plasma fibronectin (CLG) mediates the attachment of monocytes (fibroblasts, macrophages) to various cell matrices and materials such as gelatin.

Biochem/physiol Actions

FN1 is a glycoprotein present in a soluble dimeric form in plasma, and in a dimeric or multimeric form at the cell surface and in extracellular matrix. Fibronectin is involved in cell adhesion and migration processes including embryogenesis, wound healing, blood coagulation, host defense, and metastasis.
