Mouse Vitronectin Antibody

Vitronectin is a 71 kDa secreted glycoprotein produced by the liver and tumor cells. In blood, Vitronectin is called serum spreading factor. In the extracellular matrix, its function is determined by binding partners such as PAI-1, complement factors, integrins (notably alpha_v beta₃) and thrombin. The 459 aa mature mouse Vitronectin shows 74% amino acid identity with human Vitronectin and contains somatomedin B-like and hemopexin-like domains, an RGD motif, a basic heparin-binding domain and sulfated tyrosines. Unbound Vitronectin is a monomer that may be cleaved to form a dimer of 65 kDa and 10 kDa components.
