title: [Fibronectins (review)].
abstract: The most important studies on fibronectins (FN) carried out within the recent 5-7 years are reviewed. The FN localization in cells and tissues is considered and various functions of FN are discussed. Characterization of chemical structure, physical parameters and properties of the glycoprotein are briefly considered. Complex-formation ability of FN is discussed.
