Plasma Fibronectin. Structure and Function
The book opens with a discussion of aging as an evolutionary process and continues to examine the genetics of senescence. The papers that follow present an increasingly broad view of aging. The second section of the book addresses the various issues involved in estimating maturity from the skeletal structures, and the two final sections examine the phenomenon of aging from a societal perspectiv...
متن کاملPlasma fibronectin and thyroid function.
Plasma fibronectin concentrations up to 85 mg/100 ml were found in hyperthyroid patients. There was a significant correlation between free thyroxine index and plasma fibronectin values. Hypothyroid patients had low to normal fibronectin concentrations. Parallel decreases of thyroid hormones and plasma fibronectin concentrations were noted during treatment with thiamazole. A direct effect of thy...
متن کاملSolution and surface effects on plasma fibronectin structure
As assessed by electron microscopy, the reported shape of the plasma fibronectin molecule ranges from that of a compact particle to an elongated, rod-like structure. In this study, we evaluated the effects of solution and surface conditions on fibronectin shape. Freeze-dried, unstained human plasma fibronectin molecules deposited at pH 7.0-7.4 onto carbon films and examined by scanning transmis...
متن کاملThe structure and biologic activities of plasma fibronectin.
By M. W. Mosesson and D. L. Amrani T HE TERM FIBRONECTIN describes a family of structurally and immunologically related high molecular weight glycoproteins that are present on many cell surfaces, in extracellular fluids, in connective tissues, and in most basement membranes. Interactions with certain discrete extracellular substances, such as glycosaminoglycans (e.g., heparin), fibrin, and coll...
متن کاملFibronectin structure and function, and its interactions with glycosaminoglycans.
The glycoprotein fibronectin is a multifunctional molecule that is thought to serve as an adhesive glycoprotein in binding specifically to cells as well as to a variety of extracellular materials, such as collagen and the glycosaminoglycan regions of various proteoglycans (see review by Hynes, 1976; Yamada & Olden, 1978; Mosesson & Amrani, 1980; Ruoslahti et al., 1981). Fibronectin, like collag...
