Fibronectin is a normal glycoprotein component of plasma, interstitial fluid, and extracellular matrix which has binding sites for collagen, gelatin, actin, glycosaminoglycans, fibrin, Staphylococcus aureus, and some cells. Since it is a dimer, it can crosslink these substances to each other or to e...
