Description
Introduction: Vitronectin (VTN) which is a part of the pexin family is a cell adhesion and spreading factor found in serum and tissues. VTN interacts with glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans. VTN inhibits the membrane-damaging effect of the terminal cytolytic complement pathway and binds to numerous serpin serine protease inhibitors. Scientists have been noticed an over expression of VTN, integrins and plasminogen in migrating cells during wound healing.
Description: VTN produced in Sf9 Insect cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 468 amino acids (20-478a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 53.3kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 50-70kDa).VTN is expressed with an 9 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques
