Merck, F1903, Fibronectin 40 kDa α Chymotryptic Fragment (Heparin-binding region), Human purified

General description
Heparin-binding 40 kDa fragment of human plasma fibronectin purified from chymotryptic digest of human plasma fibronectin. This preparation contains the CS-1 heparin-binding region of fibronectin. Heparin-binding fragment promotes cytoskeleton organization in integrin signaling. This preparation shows one major band at 40 kDa in SDS-PAGE with no higher molecular weight species present. Smaller proteolytic fragments may be present.

Human sourced raw material used in the production of this product tested negative for hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) and type-2 (HIV-2), human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV-1 and HTLV-2) and Treponema pallidum. Handle as if potentially infectious.
