Fibronectin 1 (FN1) is a glycoprotein of the extracellular matrix. It is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 2q35. FN1 is expressed in the plasma and at the cell surface. Fibronectin is mostly synthesized by fibroblasts and endothelial cells.

Biochem Physiol Actions: Fibronectin 1 (FN1) plays a vital role in cell adhesion, growth, migration, wound healing, blood coagulation and metastasis. In addition, it also facilitates cell attachment and proliferation, control of cell cytoskeleton, morphology and differentiation. FN1 is also involved in extracellular matrix formation, hemostasis and thrombosis. Mutations in FN1 lead to glomerulopathy. Fibronectin production by normal human foreskin fibroblasts has been shown to improve two-fold after glucocorticoid treatment.
