title: Fibronectin cell interaction.
abstract: Fibronectin is an adhesive protein which mediates the interaction of cells with matrix compounds. The protein consists of two subunits with domains exhibiting affinity for cell receptors as well as for extracellular structures. Fibronectin is involved in the phagocytosis of various substrates, either by mediating their cell recognition or by stimulating internalization.
