Species Reactivity: Human Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ile465 of human vitronectin protein. Background Vitronectin (VTN) is a multidomain adhesive glycoprotein synthesized mostly in the liver and secreted to blood plasma and extracellular matrix (ECM) (1,2). The protein has an N-terminal SMB fragment mediating binding to PAI-1 and UPAR, followed by an RGD region mediating its interaction with integrins, and C-terminal hemopexin-like domains mediating its interaction with various ECM components such as collagens, tenascins, and plasminogen (2,3). VTN has been implicated as a regulator of many diverse physiological processes, including coagulation, complement-dependent immune response, cell attachment and spreading, angiogenesis, hemostasis, and vascular remodeling (4-6). Increased VTN expression promotes cancer cell migration, adhesion, and metastasis in neuroblastoma, ovarian cancer, and breast cancer cells (7-9).
